February a Cold New Year

   On Christmas we had lasagna with the boys and Mark over. Jane and I went to see the movie Big Eyes before New Years and we all enjoyed MSU beating Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. In January I worked mostly in Lansing schools and there has been snow days and an ice day to slow down on. February 1st brought 12" of snow and it has gotten cold again. We leased a new Silver Topaz Chevy Equinox from Pat Iding and have been driving it over a week now. Jane is preparing for the baby shower in March. Phil is back to school and working at the Lear Center. Luke is still at MSU but seems to be working less hours and has his insurance through the state health exchange now and Simon also will soon be on it. Oh yes it is Friday the 13th and there are a few in denial about global warming, I'm not waiting to decide who's right but gas has gone as low as a $1.79 and is back over $2 now and rising, who knows what is manipulating the market but big oil will make us pay in the long run.
