Took a nice walk in the sunshine around my neighborhood Monday. I saw some people for the first time in a while. They, like most have been in hibernation. It’s going to that nice again today. Maybe I’ll figure out who the new neighbors are !

I still say the Super Bowl was entertaining, hey the game was tied going into the fourth quarter. What do you wan’t ? One interesting tidbit from the game. Fans in New Orleans essentially boycotted the telecast as the result of the officiating snafu that cost them an appearance. I don’t blame them for being angry. The New Orleans viewership while still significant, was much lower than normal. Many Cajuns are still fuming and it’s not to change anytime soon

Listen to win a Bloom’s Farmer Almanac this morning
