Tuesday/Wednesday

I tried to post this Tuesday night, but Blogger was down and I had to get home. Sorry again.

We are in the middle of a small heat wave. I think that they are talking 50's for a few days. All that snow that we received a week ago is gone except for the remnants of the piles at the edges of streets and parking lots. Tough weather for the ski places.

My submission for the 12th Day of Christmas memory is 3's resurrection of the children's Christmas play at OLOTR. Isn't she wonderful?

Information from Lake Tahoe is that snow there is pretty meager too. They can make snow at elevation, but only a few of the runs are covered by the snow-making machines. Hope they have a turn for the winter weather in the next couple of weeks so that 3 has plenty of options on her visit. Somewhat ironically, 2 and 4 and I had to climb over snow on Mt. Rose when we were there in July. Mother Nature has her own schedule.

Anybody watching what the free agent signings in baseball are going for? Guys whom I have never heard of are getting multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts. Kenny Lofton got a $6 mil deal for a year, and he's 40 years old. It all means that the teams are making all kinds of money and they can afford the contracts. The Cubs have spents hundreds of millions, and I'll take the under for win-not win their division next year.

More later.

Be careful out there.

Waiting until 6am at the top of the stairs at the old house to go downstairs and dig through my stocking. Mother had this idea that people actually might want to sleep a little Christmas morning. Crazy lady.
