Snow Day

Today was a "snow day" or a day with a lot of snow. We have about six inches of snow on the ground with more to come. Thank goodness I work so close to home and don't have to deal with the winter traffic. It's great pulling into the garage and walking right into the house without getting snowed on and not having to clean off all the snow in the morning before I leave for work. I did have to brush off the snow when I came home for lunch and when I left work for the day. Am I lazy or what? I was able to get the boys to shovel the driveway. The wind has caused the snow to drift by the garage door. I stayed in tonight and watched all the shows on Fox 32 - The Simpsons, Malcolm In The Middle, The Simpsons, The 70's Show and Quintuplets. Television is very addictive sometimes I can't move off the couch. It's mind numbing and an excellent pastime for a snowy cold winter night like tonight. After all those shows we watched "The Garfield Movie." The movie wasn't as funny as I expected but I was entertained especially looking at Jennifer Love-Hewitt's smile. Bill Murray was Garfield's voice an excellent choice. After the movie we watched the end of the Illini basketball game and they dominated Ohio State winning by over 20 points. Makes me proud to be an alumni. The stands at Assembly Hall were almost completely orange. I spent a lot of time at Assembly Hall in college as an usher and saw some excellent events and got paid to do it. I couldn't get motivated to blog last night. I guess it won't be an everyday thing this year. So much for New Year's resolutions. There was some great news yesterday. Cub's player Ryne Sandberg made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was/is one of my baseball heroes. I have a baseball and picture autographed by him in my office. I think he made an appearance at Carson's a long time ago when he was still playing with the Cubs. One of these days I hope to visit Cooperstown and check out the Baseball Hall Of Fame. That's on my list with the Football Hall Of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Some many places to go, things to do, people to see, books to read, movies to see. The days are just packed. Every day is an adventure.
