    Good morning !

    TGIF

    HQ in Pensacola has been closed all week. I expect today as well, with their 8.5 inches of snow or something to that. Got some photos texted to me. We still only have an inch on ground here. They say we here are 12" below average.

    Talked to ds1 last night. He has successfully worked long and hard all week with staff and league to setup the ticketing side of next 2 games. They require the contenders to get in full prep ready position operationally now, win or lose. So, a lot of work involved. If you want to go to SB, Price range is $1000-$7500 each ticket. He's heading to PA Sunday, should be fun! then onto NO!

    Have good day BBB

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Not quite as chilly this morning - only 35 degrees. Might convince DW to get out for a walk. Need to make an appointment for her to get physical therapy for balance issues, too.

    Finally used a gift card to a little butcher shop in Olympia - DS gave it to me last March. Anyway, I had a mortadella sandwich for lunch yesterday. Very classy bologna. More today.

    Dave, check out youtube, silver sneakers has some great free videos for balance. Strengthing, chair yoga etc I've been doing some from my lv room tv. Really helping! 3 physical therapy sessions got me some exercises to do at home, but I get more out of following these videos....

    Morning gang

    It is humid here today. Haven't been outside yet but the windows are fogged over.

    Ron's doing some money management this morning then we are headed to the farmers market. We are only here 4 more days but I need a couple of things.

    Our lunch yesterday was fun. The couple is new to this lifestyle and they are on a much tighter budget than us. They are in a studio with no car and pretty far from everything. Happy our budget is where it is. I like AC, full kitchen and a bedroom with a door. But they spend $600 for the month and I spent $1000/week. But I am looking forward to South America. Rents are WAY less there.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Slight warming trend in the SE.
    • All the planning that goes into post season play. No time to wait and see if you win or lose. Interesting to see the winning team put on Champion t-shirts minutes after the victory. You know the losing team has boxes of them they have to burn. Go Redskins!
    • I hope Joanne, Skip and Lee are feeling better.

    GM~
    • First day all week I feel human.
    • Tucker and I got some SBUX (and a pup cup); fueled up the Grenny; washed off the salt/grime.
    • City remains abuzz about the ELGSES flubber by the Philly mayor chant! Hope its a sign of things to come!! Hard to believe the Redskins are one win away from a Superbowl shot! EPIC!
    • Interesting votes expected on the floor today.
    • Whats new in Indiana? Hopeful contract is moving forward and everyone feeling okay!
    • Temps still frigid here
    !
