aqualung - pressure suit
I wanted to go to his show tonight, but I just saw him 3 weeks ago in Park City. I am psyched for the new album since the new stuff he played was great at the concert.

The Pogues-The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn
Since I have St. Patrick's day on my mind, here is something to rock out to next weekend.
Don't worry about the government
You know, like the Talking Heads Song??? Mike has been working on taxes for about 6 hours now. He asked me to fill out one corporate form since it seemed simple. Of course, they changed the form to something that does not make sense compared to past years. This is a form for something I understand. So I was not any help to Mike.
I filled the time by cleaning, paying bills, and cooking a nice dinner (including vanilla cupcakes for dessert). So I did all the proverbial chick work. I suddenly become a neat freak when numbers come up, so thank God Mike has a clue about that stuff. I think a version of hell for me would be to make me an accountant.
Yesterday we went to a St. Paddy's parade in White Plains. It was pretty big, and people were partying in the streets. When we went out at night (9:30 ish) all the bars were still packed with really drunk paraders. There were a lot of cops and firemen, some playing their bagpipes in the street. So it is possible that I will celebrate St. Pats day twice (although I usually do not do anything for St. Pat's day and only had a Guiness to celebrate yesterday).
Of course, I wiped out on some ice this morning and quickly forced my ailing knee into full flexion (that felt good!). I do not think I made it worse, but it did not help matters any. It is truly depressing how little of a workout an arm ergonmeter can be! I am going to have a huge upper body when my knee is better.

Life and Taxes
Well, this weekend will be filled with many creative ways to avoid the inevitable that we will have to sit down and file my corporate taxes (translation: Mike will have to sit down and do them :) I am not very helpful in this regard, although I can usually manage most of my quarterlies (I always panic at 1 question though!). They are due March 15, so we will have to hop to it. Since I file every quarter, it should not be too bad, but something always creeps up. My version of being helpful is downloading forms and making sure we are filing everything. I do not think I would be a good accountant. I lack the patience for it.
My friends invited me to the White Plains St Paddy's parade. I suppose I should get out once in a while. I swam yesterday, but my knee was not happy about it. I need to find an indoor long course pool so I can turn less!!

I think this man needs to hook up with the lady who swam in Antartica without a wetsuit. They could have some ice-babies.

Mega Loser
Just wanted you all to know that I did not win the Megamillions jackpot.
Other than that, I really have nothing to say. I have been laying low and letting my knee heal (although it is hard to keep it safe around all the kids I see. One of my kids was punching that leg last week). I am getting bigger, but it is getting better. I am just playin' it safe.
I have not been going to the gym, and when I am not going, Mike sticks around. Our pathetic version of exercise last night was going to Target since it was brutally cold and not a good night for a walk.

How does the earth feel about you?
My sister Ann visited Arizona a few years back. When she was describing the incredible heat there, she said it felt like "The earth hated me". I think the Earth really hated me today. It was soooo cold and incredibly windy. The wind really added insult to injury. I thought that weather was over, but it is March after all.

Faygo Boat Song TV commercial - 1970's
How about some Detroit Nostalgia anyone? My favorite flavors are Rock and Rye and the Cream Soda. I sometimes get in the airport on the way home.

Pastoria Boys (and Friend)
Here is cute pic of the boys Sue sent me (they are with their friend, Mariel -do not know if I spelled that right!)

This a report from our local, Westchester news channel. For about a year they were over-reporting on some dominatrix that bribed a police officer. I think they loved saying Dominatrix over and over. Anyhow, they have a new dominatrix to worry about. Then they posted this question for a "sound off"
With the second dominatrix arrested here in Westchester, do you think sadomasochism and bondage have become more popular?
Yes
No
I really wish I was kidding!

Utah, the final chapter
Here are some odds and ends from the week. Ed was so sad to be leaving, some chairlift views, and who knew Pat could have been a model? Must have been the altitude.
Brian, Mike and I took the gondola down from the Canyons at the end of the day on friday. We shared it with a mother and her 2 kids. The one kid was pouting 'cause he wanted to ski down since it was his last day. He also did not want to go home and wanted to continue skiing. We were ribbing him and trying to change his mood along with his mother. Then the mom tells us they live in Malibu! Poor baby having to go back there! The mom had no sympathy for the child either!

Utah continued
Thursday we skied at Brighton which was a fun change of pace. I had never been there before, and it is a pretty mountain, but smaller. Brian flew in after we were done skiing. It was warm, but a really gusty day (winds up to 60 MPH). Those winds blew in SNOW!! It snowed all day when we skied Thurs, and we decided to go to Snowbird on Friday since we had tickets. We did not know until we were in the traffic jam to Snowbird that it snowed 26 inches there on Thursday. The traffic jam was well worth it since the snow was amazing! We even tried out the Peruvian Tunnel, because it was there. Needless to say, my knee is not happy since I skied 2 days in the deep powder! Here are some brighton pics, including a sweet jump!
