After the Super Bowl (365:037) – Well, I tried to get excited about the Super Bowl but failed quite happily.

There’s an icicle in my beard (365:033) – It was a tad cold this morning. Well I consider 6°F (-14 °C) a tad chilly, but the sun was shining and there was nothing for it but to shift the foot of snow off of the path, drive and clear a way across the deck. I had help with the drive as Alek assisted me once he’d cleared a path for Diane next door. One-minute read, 4 pictures
