Brr......

Still chilly here. Had a great time at the Pioneer Hockey game Friday night.  Froze though.  I noted the hometeam (Saline) had heaters that worked while the visitors side, the heaters did not work.  Clever.  I have several students on the hockey team so it was fun to support.  Chelsea won 9-5.  One of my students, Chi, scored a hat trick.  He spent as much time in the penalty box as he did scoring goals.  He was sent in the first time for slamming an opponent in the head.  I told the Mom next to me he had perfected that move in my class. She said "what do you teach????" I said "piano".  ;-)  I figured on Monday I'll write a "congrats, Hat trick" on the board before he comes in. We have class 3rd hour.  2nd hour he should have received the lunch detention slip I filled out for him on Friday for disappearing before the end of class ;-)

I could be working on my lecture.  I am not enthused.  Renaissance Vocal Music.  Will present my "Columbus Song" for extra credit possibilites for students.  

The snow has stopped but it is still very chilly out there. I abandoned the car in the garage.  I hope she appreciates it.

Now that the frig is new and quiet I can hear the furnace struggling.  I had asked my handyman to look at it and he thought it was "okay"--called the furnace man (no return call) so will call again.  It makes a "swoooooooooshhhhhhhh" sound when it is trying to start up.

Didn't see the turkey yesterday. I figured he was at Jan and Marshall's watching the basketball game. GO BLUE!!!

Watching the PBS "Godfathers of the Renaissance" once again.  I really like that film.  The Medici's were such "interesting" (cut throat, loyal, godfathers, financiers, patrons of the arts) people.  I think of Jeanine and my trip to the Uffizi every time I watch it--those beautiful Botticelli's!  "Birth of Venus" "La Primavera"  ahhhhhh  Did you realize this was also the time of the "Bonfires of the Vanities" ?

Running to town errands. New Chelsea Market is a center of activity these days. I like the new owner, Francesca--she is from Cuba.  (well, a long time ago).  I'll pick up some meat for Gpa.

Hope you are all enjoying a great Sunday!
