Appears warmer than I thought it was going to be. At this point doesn’t look like there will be much sun, but we can wish. Hopefully it will be a good day to hike. With the amount of snow out there and the projected weather forecasts it might be tough to have the snow gone by March 1 so we can go outside and start playing tennis.
Had a nice hike with Greg the new boots worked out fine. Greg says he looked at my x-rays and the tooth he fixed plus the one next to it need a crown. He is checking with the insurance company to see how much they will pay. He also said that he would try his new laser on my teeth to see if it will whiten them. I may look like a new person.
The sun finally came out in full force. It is really beautiful with all the snow and the bright sunshine.
Worked on the dulcimer for quit a while today. I am getting there, especially on Bile (Bile) Them Cabbage Down. While I was working on the dulcimer I saw that Paul had called, so I rang him back and even played him a little ditty.
Paul had an eventful trip to Canada on the exchange. The girl that went with him fell on the first run, the first curve of the first day and tore up her knee. They ended up coming back a couple of days early. I didn’t get much of a sense how much he liked it.
Paul also said he applied for an engineering job. With the various problems he has had with the Park Service he has kind of fallen out of love with them. Likes the free time, but they are still a bureaucracy. I guess we will just have to wait and see where this takes him. He realizes that if he ever really wants a life the Park Service probably won’t get that for him.
UD blew another one. They had St. Louis beat, missed some free throws and they banked one in to take it to overtime. UD really never recovered.
