"A Pisces born on February 20 is attuned to the spiritual mysteries of life, and religiosity can become an obsession. They possess a phenomenal memory. Their intelligence is more an esoteric understanding than an analytical skill. They have high ideals. "

Why am I going to work this early? Well at least it will be a peaceful commute...

Personal day

I broke a bookshelf last night . I think ill take a personal day.

We had a great time at a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt at the Museum of Fine Art. Jym found a giant baby head, although, to be honest, it wasn't really very well hidden.

We Rock Most with LuvIcon

From the folks who brought us ObamaIcon, comes LuvIcon. And I, of course, couldn't resist.
In fact, I sort of joined the two by making a LuvIcon of me and BKDM at the Inauguration.

I recognize that this is not a weather blog but we hit 50 degrees today and snow has melted. For that I'm grateful. I'm also sure there is more snow in store.

This is my route home. I am so over winter.

My long-distance entry in the chili cook-off.
