I snapped this photo earlier today... the branch looks like a skeletal claw that is holding winter and not letting go... but... look closely... there are buds on the tips... Spring is near!

Woke up a half hour ago... Oh my... the storm is still in full swing out here... The snow is swirling and stacked out there.  Looks like it didn't stop all night... The tulips in the vase on the coffee table with the snow covered patio view from the sliding glass doors outside as a backdrop is an interesting juxtaposition of Seasonal Ying and Yang.

Tika is presently curled up on the couch and has no interest in venturing outside... she insisted on a walk last night when I got home from work... Tika was prancing and braving the storm all bundled up in her coat... BTW... it was a quick walk!

Well, the universe can continue shaking the snow globe... I'm off today... I'm happy to enjoy a snowbound day while just being on my couch.  I'm sure Tika will get adventurous shortly and well, the patio will need to be shoveled... hmm... coffee... yes, coffee first...

On Nightline this evening, "The Sign Of The Times" segment was about captive giant pandas in China and how the males would rather eat bamboo all day and sleep instead of having sex with female pandas... So, Chinese scientists create "Panda Porn" to get the boys in the mood.  Yes, this is all true, check out the video... Nightline/Panda Porn

One of my favorite quotes from Meredith Grey in "Grey's Anatomy" is so appropriate for Valentine's Day...

"The person that invented the phrase 'happily ever after' should have his ass kicked so hard."

Yup... enough said.

Those are my tire tracks... last one home on the block.  A steady downfall of snow through the drive home with wet roads.  Sticking snow when I got on the Meadowbrook Parkway.  OK, lets see if the weather mongers get it right and how close to 18" of accumulation we get in Freeport.  

Friends over for Chinese take out, so, after some drinks and feeling tipsy...somewhere, the coversation led to Carol saying "no my brother, you have to buy your own" which had me chuckling and belly laughing.  And hey, we figure, that old commercial must be on YouTube, so after typing in the phrase... voila, there was the link, and we watched it for the first time in 25 years... it still holds up... enjoy...
