The BIRDS

Is it a remake of that Alfred Hitchcock classic, or are they just really happy that Sharon went to the Thurmont Co-op instead of the grocery store yesterday? You decide...

Snow Hype!

The grocery store was packed at noon today. Joe said Giant was totally out of ALL milk last night. Channel 4 began their all-snow coverage at 4:30 this morning. Schools announced closures before the first flake hit the ground. Yes, it's snow hype. And I love it. And I must be a participant because:

• I was at the grocery store at noon today.
  
• The tractor is full of fuel with an extra 10 gallons on hand.
  
• The loader is greased.
  
• The VoxVan is in the garage
• And I'm hardly getting anything done as I watch it come down.

All I've got to say is "bring it on!"

After all, it is Academic

What do you do on a Friday night in the middle of winter? For the past seven years, I've spent virtually every Friday night in January & February in the meeting room at the Board of Education listening to students answer questions that I don't even understand. They usually begin with words like "If F of X is on a tangent in standard position toward infinity..."

So, Saturday was the taping of the local TV version - and Catoctin pulled out a big win, likely helped along by the Friday night practices.





Although it was wonderful, I'm not sure what was more exciting... the big win on Saturday morning or the drive home Saturday afternoon
