Ice Storm

We had an ice storm here today. See the icicles?

I had to take our schnauzer out front to pee because the back deck was all ice. While I was out there, the neighbor’s tree snapped off a big branch due to the weight of the ice, and it fell beside their car.

It was a long day indoors. At 4pm, I let the dogs out back and the ground was just wet. We got in the car and ran a few errands and then grabbed a coffee from the local coffee house (one of many coffee houses around here, mind you). It was good to get out!

I have been sitting here listening to the Canadiens v. Predators game. The Habs lost in a final shoot-out (a tie-breaking process after OT doesn’t render a winner) 4 – 5.

Losing doesn’t seem to be quite the big deal it is for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Canadian fans are sweet, really, compared to the cut-throat Nebraska football fans.

Superbowl Sunday

In the United States, if you like Pro American Football, today is the day of the championship game. It’s a day when advertisers spend megabucks on commercials we’ve never seen before. It’s a day of “football food” and football parties and cheering on your favorite number one team in each league.
The Chicago Bears are playing the Indiana Colts. We’re hoping Chicago wins.

This is what I’m making for dinner. And waffle fries. You know.. healthy American food.
Well, back to our diets tomorrow, then. 🙂

Update: Not bad, really, but I would have preferred Thai peanut sauce over skinned chicken legs.
