This month has been mainly cold and snowy. We had a record snowfall this month. We got up to 26 inches of snow. I called up my work’s inclement weather line which is a joke because my company never closes but to my surprise when I called them Sunday night I got the voice of a man replacing the perky female voice who usually says,”The company is open for business and that all employees should report to work at there usual time!” This time I got a husky male voice saying, “The company is closed for business.” Wow! A day off an honest to goodness snow day!

I recall that Sunday evening sitting by the TV watching Matthew Broderick in The Music Man and being shocked at how he looked. I suspect that somewhere Broderick must have a painting in the attic that ages so that he never will. As far as ABC’s rendition of The Music Man goes I was not enamored with the production. I just watched it as I worked on a crocheted rainbow afghan.

Also that afternoon I watched the Lawrence Welk Show. I don’t know why but I have always loved watching Lawrence Welk even as a kid. That show has a hold on me I just can’t explain. David thinks that there’s something wrong with me for loving that show. David was forced to watch the show as a child so he views it as torture. Me, I loved watching it with my mom. We were the only two in our household that loved watching the show every week.
