Well…that was a really terrible surprise when I got up this morning to find a blanket of snow on everything…I know, it’s Michigan and we can expect at least one snowfall in April but it’s one thing to know it intellectually and another to actually have to start the car to warm it up and melt the snow. This just puts a damper on the day and starts it out all wrong….it was an okay weekend, didn’t do much but watch the Wings and races….I didn’t get anything political out over the weekend but I have an excuse….nothing really grabbed me and got the brain working in overdrive like I need it to….I’ll try harder today…not much to do today…as I said before, I am gong back to jeans for the next few days, I really hate being cold and that even trumps my ego….but I won’t wear socks…how’s that for a compromise? More later….

One last thing I need to add….I did watch “Winter’s Bone” yesterday and it was a pretty good movie…one of the “small movies” the I like a lot that replaces explosions and bombast with character studies….I did feel that it unfolded a little too slowly and some of the characters’ motivations were unclear even until the end…but still a good movie that shone a light on a part of the country that not many of us get to see….
