Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray out, with a promise of rain, and going to around 40 today. That should melt off a lot of the ice still laying around. It was cold last night, so the parts of roads that didn't dry will be icy this morning; but the "main" roads are nice and dry, so I really shouldn't have any trouble going to work.
Last night I still didn't get much done. I threw a few things in a box. But, I finished reading a book! LOL! I didn't even watch much TV .. one rerun. Tonight, however, is AI. Perhaps I'll find a bit of energy somewhere; sure would help if the sun came out. No, wait!! I do NOT want sun ... ah, too late. The groundhog saw his shadow. So PA will have 6 more weeks of winter. But ... is there an NC groundhog??? He surely won't see his shadow this morning! LOL!
Today is "African-American Coaches Day" ... "Groundhog Day" ... "Hedgehog Day" ... "Candlemas (Luxembourg)" ... "Dia De La Candelaria (Mexico)".
Quotes of the Day:
"A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug."
-- Patricia Neal
"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire."
