Good Morning! Tuesday February 23, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Right now it's still a bit overcast and foggy; but that will clear out, and we'll be in the low 60s! Best to enjoy while we can, because by tomorrow we'll be back to those "below normal" 40s. This is all "normal" for us ... but we're still hoping for an early spring! :)
My business class last night was interesting, even though I doubt I'll ever remember much of it. The whole class is pretty much an "overview" of several business courses. I'm enjoying the class, and even if I don't remember much, I'll have my notes!
I got home in time to see the ice dance finals, though it was hard to hold my eyes open! LOL! I was glad to see that other countries have "stepped up their game" enough to (finally) knock the Russians out of the gold ... and very happy for Canada! (and for USA silver!)
Tonight, hopefully, laundry and a few boxes upstairs. I think the ladies singles competition starts tonight. Hopefully most of that won't be until after AI, since I missed that last week.

Today is "Curling Is Cool Day" ... "Iwo Jima Day" ... "Spay Day USA" ... "Army and Navy Day (Russia)" ... "National Day (Brunei Darussalam)".
