Hooray! Spring has definitely arrived in Cincinnati as this weekend’s weather was wonderful. The warmth got me out to do some yard work, which included the season debut of the mower.
No ballroom time for us this past weekend as we took a Reds game on a slightly chilly Friday night with the Reds thrashing the highly regarded Nationals 15-0. Our dinner group got together Saturday night for a variety of chicken wing recipes! Not our normal food fare, but we had a good time.
How’s the weather in your land? How was your weekend? Come on now, time to share!
For your Monday Morning Entertainment, here’s a dose of Mel Brooks to jump-start your week. I recall an interview with him as he was promoting the movie where he said, “Movies need a big music number.” Enjoy … and have a good week.

Frank, I was thinking of you as I blogged and Mr. AndAHalf watched that game. I’m sure you enjoyed it more than he did!
Have a good week, Frank!

Even though Winter is my favorite season I do like all seasons. I’d get bored if we saw little change. With that said the warmer weather this weekend sure was nice. It felt good to get out in short pants and a sweatshirt again. T-shirts can’t be far away.

We had a wonderful weekend in Colorado. We went to the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs for a fabulous jazz festival – three nights of great jazz concerts with international stars. And the weather was warm and sunny. We took our mountain bikes and explored new territory during the day. I’m told tomorrow we’re bracing for a Winter storm with 6-12 inches of wet snow. Oh well, we need the moisture…

Autumn is definitely closing in with fresh crisp cool conditions first thing in the morning… there is one thing that worries me.. we are still experiencing summer rain with down pours of up to 225 mm (9 inches) over a weekend, causing flooding in places… this is not usual weather for us… so maybe summer is trying to hold on a little longer..
