We had some friends over for dinner and cards. They brought a bottle of Tobin James wine that was a lovely pairing with dinner.

I’m to bed late and up early in the morning to head to VT. I once was a pretty decent skier, but it’s been a couple of years. We’ll see how rusty I am tomorrow.

!!!Enjoy your week off!!!

I wish it were a week! We have today and tomorrow off, and then it’s back to the trenches!

Oh, thought you might be on the same schedule as us. Princess has President’s week off and then another week in April the week ok Patriot’s Day.

Nah. We used to, but they decided that we’d take those 3 days off the end of the school year. I’m honestly fine with that...with snow days and the random fall wind storm, we are ending plenty late anyways.

I would love to see them get rid of the Feb week. Between Christmas week, holidays, half days, midterms and snow days they’ve been home more than at school since 12/22.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is a brisk 53F presently and most likely won't hit 70F today. Looks like another week of winter has hit California. Happy President's Day to y'all 'mericans and anybody else who has a favorite president. Gary is ticked. Gary left his keys in Tom's car, so now he must drive up to Pasadena to fetch them back. Breakfast in Pasadena ... it could be worse.

Hey, Gary. Post some pictures of people in shorts. Winter is still here. It hit -28C last night. But we got a nice fire going and watched the sunrise.

Brrr, how far north are you?? I mean, I'm a hockey fan, I know where Vancouver is, but much beyond that not unless there's a hockey team I've heard of. Snow's pretty with the sun coming thru those tall trees.

Waiting for curling, replay of the overnight men's match between Canada and the USA (which I recorded for nothing since it's coming on after the noon news). Women's team barely pulled off a win last night. We haven't been doing that well, considering we have many of the same team members as last Olympics.

The weather forecast - plain ol' rain. Probably won't need to watch the weather the rest of the week.

Eww I wouldn't have liked break in February. A long weekend, sure. Schools where I live seem to manage a teacher day on the Friday before a Monday holiday, that would've worked for me! lol But we had Columbus Day the day after Thanksgiving, go figure.

Gary I like the second picture, that's nice.

@SquarePeg , if you're still looking for things to watch, check out Black Mirror. The wife and I have only watched the first three episodes, but we've been meaning to get back into it. They're standalone episodes, so you don't necessarily need to watch them in order. At least the ones we watched were.

They make you think, and are pretty far outside of the realm of normal. I loved them and couldn't get enough. Not sure of your level of comfort with certain things, but I'd start with episode 3, or maybe 2. The general premise is a high-tech world where innovation collides with dark human instincts.

Episode 3 was about a device that would record everything you see through your own eyes, so you could rewind and watch when you wanted. Very thought provoking, and the result was interesting.

Also, if you're into it, Doctor Who is on Prime.

@Gary A. you do still have a little talent left in photography. Nice series.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Waiting for curling, it's not til 2, but I kind of like bobsled so that'll do. Tip from a bobsledder - keep your eyes open. You mean you shouldn't close your eyes, hang on for dear life, and kiss your ass goodbye?? Good to know.

Gary made it to Pasadena, waiting for Tom and breakfast.
