Snow at The Lake - 2006

Word of the Day

Nostralgia - A reminder of one's past brought on by a familiar or more recently unfamiliar smell.

I always love playing my clarinet at the church...even when the music director hands me an unfamiliar piece of music with six sharps and a couple of double sharps. The Christmas decorations were still up...of course. It's still Christmas. But, I noted that a crew of church members were busily starting to take the decorations down after that last church service today.

HTP and I are still grazing on the leftover appetizers from New Year's Eve. We dined on crackers, cheese, and sausage, some shrimp and some crab dip last night as we watched a couple of episodes of The Big Bang Theory. I'm not sure how we missed this sitcom until its second season. Heck! We missed a lot of season two. We've been enjoying the first season on DVD so we can catch up with all the who's who and what's what. Hilarious show.
