Monday
It snowed.

Actually, it started last night. But there seems to be a little flurry activity going on. On the up side, it seems as though someone swept/shoveled our driveway and sidewalk this morning. And, it had to be a “by design” act because the part of the drive in front of the RV pad had not been cleared. Of course, it snowed throughout the day, so I got to clear the driveway and sidewalk this evening. I also helped our neighbor to the north with her drive/walk.

and I had lunch with this afternoon. Olive Garden. We also made an excursion to Jo-Ann Fabric. And a quick pass through Toys ‘R’ Us. While at Jo-Ann Fabric, I saw Justice League Valentines cards. Naturally, I could not pass them up. And soon… they shall be scanned!

There was no poker tonight, so evening was wrapped up with this past Saturday’s JLUepisode, “The Cat and the Canary,” and the new episode of 24.

  • I had one of last night’s leftover bratwurst for dinner tonight. Damn but it was tasty. If you’re in the SLC metro area and like sausage (get your minds out of the gutters), you should check out Colosimo’s on 7th East, near 85th South.
  • Captain Murphy must have had Jack Bauer in mind when he came up with his famous ‘law’: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”
  • I saw the What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have? meme in ‘s post and decided to try it out.


    Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence


    You shine in your ability to relate to and understand others.
    Good at seeing others’ points of view, you get how people think and feel.
    You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations.
    A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

    You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.
