| So Much Fun with These Two This Past Weekend |
The infernal winter kept up its reputation for demonic
weekends by ushering March in with characteristic ferocity. The winter may just
be losing a bit of its fighting weight though because we only got six inches
and today temperatures may actually get above freezing for a couple hours. My
wife is getting nervous as her return is less than two weeks away (cue cheering
section). She says she won’t come back if the snow isn’t melted but I objected
to a June return.

| Then They Were Gone |
Yesterday was already a down day before the snow made its inevitable
return. I had to say goodbye to my son and the ABFA who’d generously donated
most of their weekend to relieve my rural loneliness. My son didn’t escape
without Buddy engaging in one more round of ring around the kitchen island
chasing. Once they departed for home I jumped into the Sunday chores of clothes
washing, grocery shopping, and couch potato consolidation duties.

| But This Helped |
I scored a huge coup at the grocery store almost accidently.
I wandered by the meat counter – moth to the flame kind of thing – when I
noticed a stack of huge, thick porterhouse steaks. Since these are usually thirty
bucks a pop I generally pass them by. I glanced down to find they were on sale
for only eight dollars! They’re probably infested with mad cow disease but I
was not to be denied and was shortly the proud owner of two. Buddy circled the stove
like a shark when I was broiling the first and I was forced to set up a series
of obstacles to keep this well-known counter-climber away from the prize.
As the snow swirled I took up couch potato duties and
immersed myself once again in the wicked delight of the new season of House of
Cards which appeared on Netflix this week. Kevin Spacey and the Princess Bride
continue their roles as the diabolical president and first lady. There’s none
even remotely redeemable in the cast of characters and since we’re dealing with
Washington politicians – completely believable. I knocked out the first three
hours of the new season last night and I know what I’m going to be doing for
the rest of the week. Spacey is mesmerizing.
