Man, is it ever snowing outside this morning! We're supposed to get half a foot of snow or so, and a bit of freezing rain today. And I won't have to drive in it to get to or from work!!!!!!!  That is so sweet!!!

Yesterday was the high school individual wrestling districts, at our high school. I worked concessions for a good eight hours, and some people worked them for a lot longer than that. Hopefully we brought in some money for the wrestling program! Bill's weight class was a bear. There were six kids who had qualified for the state championships last year. He got one of them in the draw and the kid stuck him, though he fought hard. While he has had a winning record each of the three years he has wrestled, what can you do when you are up against kids like that? Just do what he did -- fight as hard as you can and show good sportsmanship. And then help out the people running the tournament.

Dan is off in the snow and my Jeep to go to a tournament down in Dundee with some of the little kids from the wrestling club. I am hoping that he will be OK with the four wheel drive. I would rather have him home, though. So far my vacation has consisted of watching a lot of wrestling, talking about a lot of wrestling, and selling a lot of hotdogs to people watching wrestling.

Luckily, tomorrow  I can go out for dinner and a concert with the Kodo Drummers (a drumming group from Japan) with Dan. Should be fun, as long as he hasn't exhausted himself by doing snow removal.  The again, the drummers might wake him up.
