flood part deux

well folks, there are many rivers and lakes and ponds here that are very, very high right now. there are towns and neighborhoods and houses and cars and businesses that are under a lot of water. not sure how long it's gonna be til we see something like this again.

my hometown was in the news for some bad and nasty flooding there too. terrible stuff. i hope that no dams fail and that we get through this relatively unscathed.

i'm trying to blog more, i really like blogging, just gotta keep at it. i was fighting a cold yesterday and am also fighting a cold today, but i think i'm gonna drink a ton of water and hopefully beat it. i refuse to get sick.

soooo let's see what else is happening. we had our first (and last) basketball playoff game last night. i don't really want to get into it, but it wasn't pretty. still, a great season, i had so much fun, and everyone's relatively happy. good times.

oh yeah i didnt mention that i made a pear crisp this weekend from the moosewood cookbook. it was pretty good. i think i prefer the crisp that you actually make for like apple crisp than a crisp that's just oats, sugar, and butter.

i'm starting to read a book, "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe", you may have heard of it. a one-time friend gave it to me in high school. she underlined a section of it that i'm not sure i want to post here as it's somewhat unsettling. i'm thinking about it. it's a really good book, and just kinda funny that it took me so long to actually start reading it. but seriously -- better late than never.

ok folks, i'll be in touch.

bye, Dave
