for January 29th, Tuesday

My sons the jocks. #64 is Mike (2.16). Notice the bevy of young girls in the back ground.

Mike was a co-captain playing in the background. Number #75 (Rudy?) is about the right sized for a lineman. I will never forget when I was a lineman, about all of 140lbs. I had to block a huge opposing player. He was about 225# and in the 1940's one of the biggest players in the league. I rammed right into him and just bounced off. It was like running into a wall. Both pictures are 1986.

My other son Steve is and was looking good in 1991.

Disaster strikes. 

It looks serious with Paddy on the dining room table.

And Joe snuggling in with Frank

It snowed and no school, but no power either.

"Yesterday schools closed at noon due to snow.  The boys were very happy.  We got around 4: of snow"--just enough to sled.  Unfortunately, our power went out yesterday.  Paddy is wondering what people did without x-box, computer and TV.   He is very confused and tired of playing board games.  We are using the showers at the athletic club and not sure where we will be tonight.  Frank thought of going to stay with Kelsey and her roommates!  I'm not sure how she will feel about that idea.
I'll keep you posted on our "adventure"     Love  Jeanni
