It’s been a long cold winter…and here in the New York area, more snow and ice is predicted for Thursday. Last Thursday night, after driving home from our office in the city, I noticed that the light was on to indicate that my car needed gas. On Monday morning, I turned on the car and the light was blinking again. Until that moment, I had not realized that I had not left the house for three days! I have been fighting a cold/cough and decided a quiet weekend was in order. I spent those 72 hours reading, knitting and watching Olympics coverage. There are so many commercials on the latter that one very easily can read whole chapters in between events. It was so relaxing.
