Cincinnati had nice weather, which allowed some outdoor time. How was your weather and weekend?
Another full weekend with a variety of activities, such as ballroom, the movie 42 (excellent) , lawn mowing, chime accompaniment for the vocal choir, and substitute ushering at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. The play (The Book Club Play) is a fun comedy delivering many laughs though a variety of interesting characters.
April ends this week, so with May upon us, I imagine spring is on the very-near horizon for all those in the northern reaches on the planet. With winter in the rear-view mirror, maybe it’s time to change the header. Hmmmmm?
With that in mind, cabin fever will be over of the northern hemisphere. Here’s a great video from many years ago regarding a cabin. Enjoy and have a great week.

Was that 13 or 15 in that cabin? I’ll have to come back after morning coffee to count again.
…and then came the volkswagen in 1937.

It was a theater weekend for us, too, Frank. We saw Henrik Ibsen’s play “Ghosts” at our local “serious” theater on Friday Night and “Legally Blonde, The Musical” at our dinner theater on Saturday NIght. Very different evenings, but both enjoyable. We went for a bike ride on Sunday – beautiful warm weather for the first time! And I planted my spring vegetables in the garden – peas, lettuces, kale, chard, arugula and carrots. A good and productive weekend overall.

Oh, and Frank, I forgot to mention. Did you notice Groucho’s comment “C’mon in girls, and leave all hope behind” at 11 seconds? An oblique reference to Dante’s Divine Comedy – “Abandon hope all ye who enter here” – the inscription at the entrance of hell. Typical Groucho remark and a whole new take on “cabin fever” 🙂

It is finally peeking out, Spring that is. I went for a bit of a ride to find any sign of Bluebonnets. Did some shopping and some housecleaning with windows open to let the fresh air in. Truly though it was a somewhat lazy weekend.

Yes found some, they are not heavy in the Dallas area this year. Where my parents lived in the Hill Country they use to blanket the fields just like you see in the video. I use to take my camera out every year. Bluebonnets, Blackeyed Susan’s and Indian Paint would color our world for miles. It is the most amazing sight.

Nice warm weather here too. In fact it was a bit too warm for the season but I hear rain’s coming our way, which is good news. I shouldn’t be surprised though. This always happens during Easter week [ours anyway!] Easter Fridays and Saturdays -as long as I can remember- were accompanied with cloudy / rainy weather.
If you ask me, I like your Aurora Borealis. It’s become a kind of Frank trademark!

Happy new week, Frank.

Ah ha … the spring heat that comes before the summer heat. Meanwhile, if your weather forecasters are like ours, the next weekend forecast will change many times.
Thanks for your vote of confidence on the Aurora Borealis. My intent was to use it for the winter, then return to something from the Hubble Telescope … but until I pick a new one, this one stays. If you haven’t seen them, here’s my header history.

Glad you got a chance to see ’42’ and liked it. I went to see ‘The Big Wedding.’ Now, I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to movies; I just want a couple hours of escape. But that film was a real stinker. Save your money on that one. Such a great cast and such a horrible script.

I love that classic Marx Bros clip Frank! I never get tired of something so purely asinine and hilarious. My weekend started out great, I hung out with my posse, we said goodbye to my go-to watering hole on the second to last day before it shuttered, and then I came down with a Godzilla-sized cold I’m fighting right now. This is my first cold since July 2011, but I was hoping I was going to go the rest of my life without ever suffering another one. Yet another hope dashed.
