Short month, big doings

Happy Groundhog Day! Please no more winter. I’ve shoveled enough ice and snow and rescued enough neighbors for the year. 

Happy Winter Olympics! Favorite events are short track speed skating for crazy wrecks and upsets and cross country skiing where skiers collapse after the finish. Watched more figure skating than I wanted which means greater than zero.

Happy Super Bowl! Time for homemade crockpot Thai red curry and usually the one sports event we watch each year unless Olympics.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Ever since I had a Russell stover marshmallow dark chocolate in my stocking this past Christmas I’ve been looking for an excuse to have another one. This is it! Does rs make a dark marshmallow shamrock? I have to wait for Easter?? Also tried a Russell stover Dubai Choco.

Happy year of the horse! Where’s my red envelope?

Oh yeah and books. May have read more but forgot to record them. Sorry.

1. Brideshead revisited by evelyn waugh. A classic. Most of the book is technically brideshead sandwiched with a little revisited.

2. The inheritance by robin hobb and Megan lindholm. Short stories by both who are the same person and neither one is the real name? Mind blown. 

3. The hard line by mark greaney. Gray man adventures continue along with my enjoyment.

4.  cold zero by brad thor and ward larson. Wait where is scot harvath? Feels like a tom Clancy book mixed with the grey movie w Liam neeson. Need mini airline bottles and duct tape.

Whew!
