Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Although the forecast is for mostly cloudy, it's starting out bright and mostly clear. It'll go to the lower to mid 60s, which is just right for late March. We may get showers later; yesterday started out rainy but cleared by evening.
My class last night was interesting to say the least! LOL! I am most definately not an "aggressive" type person; but in class I had to simulate a negotiation - with the only other person in class, a very "forceful" personality! There were no winners .. but no losers either.
I got home in time to see the last half of Dancing. I was disappointed in Evan (but hope he'll improve); and still have NO use for Kate! LOL! Tonight will be much better, the top 11 sing on AI. Can't wait to see how my favorites do. :)
