Ice Can Be a Bear!
Defense Secretary Gates fell the other day. Broke his arm between the shoulder and elbow. Ouch!
Isn't it sad that when I see Gates mentioned in a news article my first thought is Bill. Ahh, the power of Microsoft.
Stay safe!

5 More Weeks of Winter - Supposedly
There should be 5 more weeks of winter left. It has been a cold winter and doesn't seem to be letting up at all. Today it didn't get above 0 and the wind chills were dangerously low. Needless to say I avoided being outdoors as best as I could. It sure gets old - this winter stuff. Tomorrow we're supposed to get a couple of inches of snow. Gotta love it! Definitely the worst winter in the 8.5 years of living up here.
Nothing too exciting happening up here other than the weather report. My life seems to be consisting of work, classes, studying, repeat. You know it's bad when I haven't been to a movie in a month! I was averaging 1 a week for awhile. I think the last movie I saw was The Bucket List back in the beginning of January.
There are some Oscar nominated movies that I haven't seen. I always try to at least see all of the movies up for Best Picture. This year I've seen 2 of the 5. No Country for Old Men and Atonement. I do want to see Juno, Michael Clayton and There Will be Blood. Maybe next weekend I'll get to a movie.
Out of the two Best Picture nominees I've seen, No Country for Old Men has my vote over Atonement. Atonement was overrated. NCFOM was pretty intense and isn't a movie I would necessarily recommend to people - although it was well done and deserves some awards. Just pretty creepy. Javier Bardem is awesome in it and definitely deserves Best Supporting Actor.
Check back next week and I'll let you know if I get to a movie and what I think.
Stay warm!

Won't Back Down
Classes have started back up this semester. I may be in over my head! I'm in classes 2 nights a week and Saturday afternoons right now. I will add another week night the end of March as I pick up a 2nd half of the semester class. Not sure when all of the studying and sleep that I will need will come in - especially working full-time.
Speaking of studying....I'm watching the Superbowl right now. :) Not too impressed with the ads so far. The game is pretty good though. I like that it's not a blowout, makes it much more interesting. Oooh...Patriots just coughed up the ball with 10 seconds left in the half. Now the Giants have the ball - wonder if Eli can get a score before half. That would be no.
We had about the coldest weather last week that I've experienced in my almost 9 years up north. The temperature coming home from class was -15 with wind chills at -35! Now that's cold. Thankfully I found the perfect hat. It's a Land's End, "Thermacheck Roll Brim Hat." It actually fits my big head and thick hair. Not to mention it keeps me warm - critical for -35 windchills!
How is it that Tom Petty is still relevant enough to headline the Superbowl halftime show? I'm not saying he shouldn't be, just seems odd that they always have performers from years ago and not more current artists. Maybe it's because he stands his ground and won't back down.
Phil says 6 more weeks of winter - stay safe and warm!
