Here I am again, laughing in my room, and scaring Lynx! This time I tuned into an episode of "Cheers" and there was Frasier, freaking out about being a "good boy" as compared to Sam, the bartender. He proceeded to run around the bar with a pair of scissors in his hand, planned to going swimming immediately after eating, and was about to go pet dogs that he didn't know where they'd been! Wow! In the course of one of his reckless, manly acts, he crossed against the light, slipped and fell on the ice, then proudly announced, "I nearly split my pants!" Whoa there buddy, better reel yourself in! I nearly split mine laughing at him!

Ordinarily I watch "Fox and Friends" but there was just no major news on today, other than the horrible campus shootings in Northern Illinios last night. Of course that just freaks me out, with having my own son on a college campus, but must have faith that the Lord is watching over him and has things in His control. The same is true when Justin is driving from his condo to this side of town---I have to simply NOT dwell on the potential dangers and do rejoice when he arrives safely!

Yesterday was spent in front of the computer, as it is most days, but my accomplishment was getting the Art Guild Board Meeting Minutes typed and sent off. This was finished just as the housekeepers arrived so I left them to their work as I ran up to visit my friends at "Great Hang Ups". Julia showed me how to search the AAA site, finding the restaurants located in proximity of our hotel in NYC. Her hubby came in to share lunch with Julia, and then another artist, Kris, arrived with brochures and such for an upcoming show at Hang Ups. It was nice to see both Mike and Kris again but I had to dash off for my hair appointment.

My special "Valentine", Pam, called and made plans for us to have dinner with some other friends at Sorbello's. We met about 6:00 or so, as members of our group kept trickling in. Justin even came over to have St. Valentine's Day dinner with his mama. It was a beehive there, and we got to see Twila Squared, as she was called in at the last minute to help with the rush of patrons. Even little Nikki was busy as Hostess, such a cute girl growing into a lovely young woman. Our meals were delicious, me having more than half come home for another time. Yummy!

Wednesday night was blessed one, traveling over to Victory to hear a special musical event and worship service. Lynne and Janet, my friends from church, rode with me, with Fausto and Julaine already there. Our arrival was timely enough to enjoy a light supper before the concert began, which was lovely, too. The musicians, both from WI, called "In His Service", skillfully performed some traditional Lutheran hymns, mostly of a Lenten theme. Of course, their rendition of "Amazing Grace" just put us away and Janet was quick with the tissue distribution. There is just something about this anthem that moves our hearts! Lynne bought me one of their CD's as a 'thank you' for the ride, which was not expected but greatly appreciated. It was marvelous being with these other brothers and sisters in Christ, especially being the first time at Victory for my passengers.

Today I am off to the Friday Musicale and then am coming straight back to enjoy a late lunch with my boy. We are hungry for fried rice but with this concert being at Riverside, I can't get back here in time for Koko's. Nuts! He's got some plans for tonight and I am making some chili which I'll enjoy for dinner. Yes, at home.........of course, these plans are subject to change on a moments' notice! Chili freezes.......is that a redundancy??? Pick, pick, pick!

Speaking of chili---Justin reports that his treatments at the physical therapist make him cold, as they put an ice wrap on him for 10 minutes. I hated that when I went to PT for my goofy knee. I don't care what they say, ice is NOT my friend! He did like some other form of therapy done with heat, and then traction. I pray he gets some relief from his pain and weakness through this therapy.

Ooooh, high temp of 79 on Sunday....it's getting better right along! Beach, anyone??? I'll bet Jill is getting airfare prices right this minute, as she's about had it with this horrible winter up there in Dairyland!

Instead of washing off the sidewalk I may be shoveling it yet. Even Dan said he would like to see green grass.I am at work and should oretend I am doing something. Bye!
