Well, here it is February. I always think of February, not January, as the coldest month because years ago Dad would go to men’s retreat in the middle of February and that was often a 35 below zero weekend that all us wives had to deal with on our own. But, no matter what February throws at us, it is followed by March and then April and then can enjoy another warm season. Come Monday, April 15 will be only 70 days ago. It seems like the 30 days since we had 100 days left have gone quickly.

Tomorrow is high school honors choir audition day in Eau Claire. I have 4 kids to play for, but they are all in the early afternoon. I also have a funeral to play for at 11:00, so it will be a rather busy day. Sunday, of course, is Superbowl, so I have the Superbowl party at work at 5:00.
