Ouch. This may be an obvious question but can you roll over in a different direction to get out of bed? I'm guessing you can't help what you do in your sleep.
Palm Sunday morning greetings! We made it TO Lima fine, now we just have to get HOME before the real snow arrives.

More snow? Jeez!
Have to schlep some 20 miles to the high school tomorrow morning at dawn's crack, for a day of rehearsals. Naturally, the Professional Weather Guessers are calling for the possibility of some snow or other unpleasant precipitation from this eastward moving storm ... sometime through the day, could be early, could be late. It couldn't have come today or Tuesday or any other day. No, sir. It gets here on the one day I must be out and about. It's only supposed to be an inch or so of slushy stuff, but things could shift a little and it could then be a few inches of solid snow. Help! I can't take it any more! Get me out of here!You could move to Florida but we get cold here too.
Hee Hee. Maybe it's also effecting the weather.
I love Cousin Ross' new comedy-act tag line: (not in his real life, but he uses it for his act)

Good Palm Sunday morning to all! I just wanted to share that I went to Exceptional Granite, Tile and Marble in Clearwater yesterday to pick out my new Granite countertops! I met Cliff who was very nice.
I took a floor tile and a paper with my kitchen paint color with me so we could put them against the granite to make sure the colors would work. With Cliffs help, I picked a beautiful slab that reminded me of a tigers stripes. Cliff said it would make my tiny kitchen look bigger. It has whites, black/grey, tans/creams, light browns and what looks like sparkles in it. It's called Juperana Granite.
They gave me several samples of other colors to lay in the kitchen and look at when I got home but my eye always went back to the Juperana. I didn't want to much white because the floor is a cream/tan/gray/white mix and the cabinets will be pure white.
I also heard from Sergio ( Same name different person from the other Sergio) who said he will be delivering the cabinets on April 1st and will do the demo/install of the cabinets over April 4/5! I am sooo excited and I can't thank everyone enough for all of their kindness in helping me with my kitchen.
I still need your vibes for the washer/drier shed/room to come true. Once that happens I will have a perfect little home. ;)
Good morning! The train I'm on is about to enter Union Station in DC.
I went to several statistics classes in the Dept of Labor Building across the street from Union Station in D.C.
And the word of the day is: CANOROUS!
...and we're home! We drove through some pretty heavy snow - very poor visibility, but the roads were only wet, not snow-covered.Glad all of our travelers are safe!
LOL< you should see ours. We've got one gate
I've actually started telling people and rather than fear, I feel relief and a lot of the excitement I felt back when I applied to be a judge. I cancelled my state contract for criminal defense about a month ago. I've been saying no to new federal appointments but haven't officially gotten off the list. I'm ready to do that now. I'll probably write the email tomorrow. I'll still be working hard,, but there will be fewer nights and weekends and I will have more of an office practice. It will mean the end of jury trials, but I'll still have hearings before the immigration judges. This is a change I look forward to. Thanks for all the good wishes.
I'm confused. You can't stand Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, or you will only read Doyle?
everyone has been so supportive of this project I have been overwhelmed

I'm trying to sleep in my back more or on my other shoulder. I don't know any other way to get out of bed that doesn't put pressure on my shoulder. :(
Went to see my cousin Ross do his stand-up at a comedy club last night. Usually, we get seats very close-up, because his mom thinks wer'e better for him when we're sitting close and he sees and hears us laughing (I think that's the logic) but last night we were a big party (9 people) so we had to sit further back if we wanted our whole party to stay together.
What's in part fascinating is that from further back, because of other people's heads in the way, you start watching the live feeds (like at a real concert or event!) a little on the simultaneous TV sets around the large-ish room for all the comedians/. the Tv's are just there, you can't help it sometimes. So it felt more like a REAL event. Fun to really see the whole room laughing for him, which you don;t see when you're up close,a s his Mom always had liked us to be in the past!
But what's weird is how many people leave after THEIR friend is on, meaning teh peopel toward teh end of the ste get short shrift. I'd almost decide of I wound up in the last five or six to say no thanks, i won't go on, I'm starting off with a disadvantage of half the room being mpty.

I love your "Professional Weather Guessers" comment. I have often said I missed out on the best job on the planet. All you have to say it that it "might" happen. We "might" have snow today. Mind you I didn't say we will, I said "might". We "might" have rain" at the end of week. It doesn't happen, then again I didn't say it "would" rain, I said it "might". And if it does---then hey, I was RIGHT!!!!! What a great job!

...and we're home! We drove through some pretty heavy snow - very poor visibility, but the roads were only wet, not snow-covered.
I'm a bit sorry at some of the things I will have to give up. The book shelves were built by my Dad but I just don't have any place to put them. I had hoped that they would build the place for the W/D first and I could have put a least one of them there.
I think I'll have to get rid of the kitchen table I have now too. My Mom loved that table--it's butcher block but I would rather have them go to the GoodWill and help someone else then see them go to the dump.
I'm up - got up at ten after a really nice night's sleep - feeling pretty damn good this morning, mostly due to breathing easy about the big boy computer. I did spend thirty minutes on the phone with a nice Apple Man, and he said I should have been told about Word having to relaunch, and all the other little things it had to do - but everything is working perfectly now and he even found the problem on the laptop with the Mail program, so that's fine now, too. I will say, Time Machine is doing backups much more frequently than normal, but he said that would happen for a while, until it all settles in. In fact, several things that were problematic last night were fine this morning - has to do with synching and other things.

I always like reading that you are home safe and sound. That is a long trip you take on Sundays, especially in the winter.
DR Vixmom I'm glad your father is doing well.Sending more vibes to VixMom's Dad!
And the word of the day is: CANOROUS!
DR Danise--I'm glad there's progress in your renovation!Thank you so much! I'm going to try to post as things happen but I will take lots of photos to share the before, during and after!

DR Danise, I'm overwhelmed by your exciting news. It is really going to happen for you. I have tears of joy for you.Wow, you got it in one! That is the very color but the slab that I saw had like stripes of the different colors. The first thing I thought was it looked like a tiger.

I'm hoping they don't give up on the W/D. I just keep thinking how wonderful it would be to be able to bake or cook in my new kitchen while the wash is in progress. Think of how much time I wouldn't have to spend in the laundry matt!

It's always scary getting a new computer. You never know if it will update or not. I'm still on my first Apple so I haven't had to do that yet but I know what a headache it was with a PC. I will never go back!I'm up - got up at ten after a really nice night's sleep - feeling pretty damn good this morning, mostly due to breathing easy about the big boy computer.

VIBES for DR DANISE that it ALL happens!
Been going non-stop today, it seems. Met friends for dim sum after church, then headed home to make a tart for tonight's pig roast.
The roast will be outdoors, which hasn't exactly been receptive today. We've got a nasty cold wind that keeps whipping up. In fact, it was colder when we played during second service at about 11 a.m. than it was when we played the 8 a.m. service.
Supposed to get down to around freezing tonight and tomorrow night before warming up.
How strange! I just got an advertisement for Kosher Easter Egg Cookies.

Thank you for your concern, DR Jane. We seem to be having a lull between snowstorms, which will give us the chance to go to the visitation for Cathy and have dinner with Rob and Mary Linda. Richard and I usually avoid the funeral home routine and prefer to attend the service. However, that's scheduled for noon tomorrow and we're not sure we'll be able to get down our driveway then...

DR Elmore, some of JACK THE GIANT KILLER was filmed at Norwich Cathedral, where Richard and I spent a week in January.
DR TCB I would love to have seen Pearl Bailey.
It was wonderful. And the cast included Cab Calloway (who I had never appreicated until then), his daughter Chris Calloway, Mabel King, and Morgan Freeman as Rudolph, the head waiter.
I'll be sending out the usual e-mail after I get the correct link and the timing.

Sure, that is fine for now; but the the first time you try to prepare roast tiger at home, it will totally disappear on your counter top.

I made two dishes today for Passover dinner tomorrow.
Tzimmes (Carrrot & Sweet Potatoes with Raisins, honey & pitted prunes)
Kugel (noodles with cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, raisins, cinnamon,)
First time cooking for both. Won't know how it came out until tomorrow.
It took me the whole afternoon to make them.
I made two dishes today for Passover dinner tomorrow.Those are two dishes that my aunt makes often for Passover. She is making kugel for tomorrow. I love her tzimmes. There is something that she puts in it that is my favorite part of the dish. It is white and so tasty. She also sometimes puts beef and chicken in it which I prefer.

Mae-Ling was so seriously squicked out by the raw turkey that she ran home. But young Wae-Ling thought it was the coolest thing ever to be elbow deep in a raw turkey. She had a blast and ate quite a bit of it (for her). Mae-Ling hasn't returned.
And there is to be NO DEBATE about it. The stuffing goes inside the turkey.
The End.

Oh, by the way, once your little house is completed, you will be hosting the first-ever national HHW Get-together,so we can all see the results!
Just bought my ticket for Cathy Rigby as PETER PAN.

Went to a pig roast tonight. Lots of fun. Better than the Fine Swine Cook-off last weekend. Tonight, we actually got to eat the pork. :D
What kind of sandwich did you get from Arby's that was big? Everything I order there seems to get smaller and smaller everytime I stop there.

I had the Arby's MAX combo - comes with curly fries and I also had the chocolate mint shake - I suspect I had more calories in that one meal than DR Jane had all week

I have never had Tzimmes (never heard of it before) but I think it is something I must now experience
Kugel I had for the first time at a Bat Mitzvah several years ago - and I absolutely loved it
perhaps I should make these to bring to my Brother and SIL's house for Easter -- along with Skip's famous deviled eggs, which have, in the past couple of years, become a family tradition (Thanks for the recipe Skip!!)
Mike - would you be willing to share your recipes?

I don't know how you people are getting tickets to Peter Pan. I went in as soon as the tickets went on sale, and I couldn't get any.
