Another bright sunshiny day. It gets colder every day. High winds make the cf9º. Our guys continue to keep the streets and sidewalks clear.
Plans for movie and early dinner fell through so I went walking, did errands, talked with people over coffee. Looked away when I passed the gym. I REALLY need to get back to workouts.

new mind games
Bright sunshiny day. Walking & talking & doing errands. Stopped in Mickey D's for a small salad and cappuccino. Guy gave me crossword puzzle page from USAToday. Discovered 2 word games unknown to me. I like them! They're fun!

stormy wednesday
Snow & sleet began early morning. About 5 a.m., I heard the guys shoveling and running machines. All Philadelphia public & parochial schools were closed. (Those were my favorite words when I was a teacher.)
The podiatrist's office called to say my appointment was canceled so I went back to bed and to sleep. Guys working so hard, as they usually do, kept me awake.
Later decided this was the perfect day to watch a movie so I got out the DVD "Mrs. Paltry @the Claremont" with Joan Plowright. Perfect! Sweet, sentimental, slow-moving, well-acted.

Basquiat rhythm
In process of reading this wonderful book. It has a rhythm like a bebop piece. The author will be here on 2/28. I'm now anxious to hear her speak having starting reading this book.
Frigid weather, light snow. Much snowsleet predicted for tonight/tomorow. I go out walking despite the low temperatures. Walked up to the chiropractor's yesterday; today, around the neighborhood. Can't let my fitness dissipate.

@ the library
Out walking. Stopped into the library to get Steve Lopez's book. Our local One Book discussion will be on Feb. 11th. There was a long waiting list for the book and also for Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art by Phoebe Hoban. She'll be @ the Central Library on the 28th. At home, I ordered both books on Amazon. Less waiting.
The movie that is being made from the Lopez book is being filmed in Philadelphia. There have been Jamie Foxx sightings in restaurants, bars and gyms. They're filming in City Hall Courtyard at present.
I'm anxious to read Lopez's book. He was a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer for many years and was always one of my favorites.

poolcards
Sis & I went to LAFitness for water exercises. I used the cards with exercises that I did in rehab when I had trouble with my back. We worked for 45 minutes. Well done!! (And we didn't stop for a beer afterwards;)

The last one I'll buy! 8>D
Out doing errands in Andorra. Ran into a guy who asked for help on computer so I went to the library fror 30 minutes. Did monthly shopping @ market. Noticed that brands I like are slowly disappearing replaced by store brand. Guess with the economy people are buying cheaper brands.

Tarjay ball
Went to Target, the famous French store, while Sis took Mom to have her eyes examined and to take tests. After very little shopping (I have too much stuff already) I sat at the Starbuck's window, drank a hot chocolate and watched the scene .
obamags
Finally stopped buying Obama tees. Now I buy Obama magazines :) What a photogenic guy! What a photogenic family!!
I hope that with the high expectations for his presidency, people will still give this administration time to work through our problems. There will not be a quick fix to all the problems we are experiencing.

pizzabama
@ the mall continuing the search for an argyle sweater without success. Stopped for a mushroom slice. Reading *another* Obama magazine. I'm collecting them like I collected Obama tees. Think I have 5 mags already.
