Why Do People Sing in the Shower

or better yet, like Robot Guy, talk out loud while vacuuming? How strong is the possession, the grip, the shield of The Noise barrier that alters people's personalities? Interesting I say, totally normal; isn't it?

Wednesday, why I love them!

A couple of reasons, the first obvious one; it's Hump Day, smack dab in the middle of the work week. I'm working Monday through Friday, 9-5... So I love Wednesday, knowing the worst of the week is behind me... Second, a good read in the Post-Standard, the Food Section. I must scrounge up .50 and run downstairs to the box on the corner. Third, it's class day; however today, we don't have class (makes it an even better Wednesday)! Wednesdays child is full of woe ... Bummer! So glad I wasn't born on Wednesday... I'm a Tuesday Girl: Tuesday's child is full of grace. Lookup your birth day: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html?year=1955&country=1

Really, The Last Day of Skiing

Well we went skiing last night, at Lab and I hated it... Hard packed with little powder on top... Not for the beginner skier! I fell 3 times, and took Brian down once (Tom thinks he pushed me first ;0) One fall popped my skies off even! I feel a bruise in the making... But It's Spring time , so I don't mind the end of the ski season... We're Snow Champs of North America is on the cover of The Post-Standard: Total Snow Fall for Winter 2006-2007 is 129.5 (normal to date is 101.2 ). Along with Record Warmth: 27.7 average with normal being 25.9. Hmm, where is it today? First day of Spring and it's FREEZING out. Bring on the sunshine and let the sap run, for Maple Syrup Breakfast is around the corner!

Last Day of Skiing

Well this could very well be our last trip to Labrador Mtn. for the season. Our trip to Bristol Mtn . was great fun on Sunday; we hope to make it a regular event next year. Spring has Arrived!

DST

Ok, We survived Day Light Savings; in spite of the little warning. Especially seeing this became a Bush 'law' in 2005 to save on energy. Yet, every IT shop around the global needed to update all their Hardware and Software to make it happen. The DST push only started this year, queuing up for it... Cost the Businesses sector a pretty penny I bet. And leave it to Microsoft! All my MS Outlook Calendar entries gained an hour, when they had a date post 3/11/07 date; all had to be deleted and re-entered. So I missed a few appointments?!? Just another MS bug, we are used to that; aren't we?!? Not quite on the scale of Y2K, but close... I'm sure the Financial systems not updated for DST will be missing a few $$ here and there, on account of that that lost Hour! Plus, it left me exhausted; being robbed the hour sleep (but that's the same every year)... Sleepy in Syracuse, Rae
