Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The forecast for today is low 40s, partly cloudy, breezy. Right now it is bright and clear ... and cold! :) I'm not sure (because it keeps changing), but I believe it's supposed to be mostly clear and 40s all week.
Last night was my business class (more of a discussion, and more interesting than "dry facts"), and then groceries. I still got home in time to watch the figure skating. I stayed up way too late, but saw the favored Chinese couple get the gold! (and silver, breaking a 12 year Russian dominance on pairs skating). I'm happy for them.
Tonight, a conflict ... Olympics or AI??? I don't know yet what I'll choose. :)
Today is "International Pancake Day" ... "Mardi Gras" ... "Shrove Tuesday" ... "Bursting Day (Iceland)" ... "Independence Day (Lithuania)".
