Despite the lousy weather, we have had a nice weekend. Friday was absurd with all sorts of precipitation falling out of the sky - snow, ice, sleet - a nightmare. We went to Lisa and Mike's to play Texas Hold 'Em poker and I cleaned up. Just call me Four Aces! We drove over because I'd made a bunch of food - including a spanish shrimp tapas that was scarfed down in record time. When we went to leave, we had a hard time getting the car out of its spot so Tom came to our rescue and "rocked" it out of the snow and ice.

Yesterday was mellow and then we went to a Coburn family St. Patrick's Day shindig which was fun. I haven't been to one in years and I had a great time catching up with everyone.

We slept in a bit today and then read the New York Times in bed. Life just does not get much better. No we are headed to the gym and to a furniture store. Tonight a bunch of us are going out to eat to celebrate Jo's birthday. Long exhale tomorrow.
