Three-Day Weekend

Finally a weekend with no obligations except mass and a Bethesda visit to see mom.  And it's a three-day weekend!

If the weather remains warm, I plan to clean up the yard a bit.  All the snow and ice caused a number of branches to fall.  Trees look great and provide nice shade, but they're also a lot of work.  Between cleaning up branches, seeds, and leaves, they keep us busy year round. Come to think of it, that's probably a big reason we never have time or energy for annuals.

Maybe we'll see a movie.  I'd like to see The King's Speech.  We used to see a movie nearly every weekend.  But now we're good staying home with our 40" HDTV, especially since we have Netflix and Roku.  It's just better at home.  Jim can stretch out on the couch. We can pause any time.  And we're not tempted with unhealthy theater popcorn.  I look forward to the time when we can get just-released movies at home.

Whatever we do -- TGIF!
