Here in S WV we have enjoyed the following. Valentines Day. 4 inches and 40 MPH winds... Presidents Day. 12 inches of the light fluffy stuff but no wind. Tues-Thurs, just cold Friday Feb 20. It was a balmy -17* while Mrs. Lew and I car pooled to work in the AM. Sat 21. Still cold and 4---8 inches projected. The temps warmed up and the snow became the heavy wet snow, perfect for snowballs. Hard as hell to shovel though. At 7 PM I began the task of using the snow blower to remove the 18 inches we received. This pales by comparison to Mass. but the terrain of WV makes snow a nightmare with the mountains, curved roads and the lack of snow removal equipment. our neighborhood has not yet been cleared and the neighbor across the street is in her 38th week of pregnancy according to hubby. He borrowed my snow blower.

This "30 for 30" was very, very good. I'll still never understand how Tretiak was pulled after the first period.

Already have the DVR set.

The winter has been mild in Southern WV until Monday 16. A foot of snow made driving a challenge. More road clearing equipment is needed, but that is probably true anywhere. Temps in the -10*F range are projected for Wed through Sat. I used the snow-blower this morning for the first time all winter.

I was at home here in WV watching on TV. At half time my daughter asked if we could play the new computer game we got for Christmas. It was Monopoly. The computer was a Tandy Radio Shack computer . We left the TV on but muted the sound. The computer version of Monopoly has some interesting sounds. As the Bills mounted the comeback, we had to find the "Save Game" function so we could play later. One of my neighbors called to ask if we were OK, due to all the shouting, screaming and yelling that occurred. It was that game that my daughter learned the idea of NEVER leaving a game as anything could happen. The following March the local HS hoops team came back from a 20 point third quarter deficit in the WV state hoops semi-final game. We won in OT At the end of the game my daughter and I said "its just like the Bills game." The HS won the state championship the following night..

Grape Pie Make pastry for a two crust 9’ pie. For the filling: Remove and save the skins from 5 1/3 cup of concord grapes. Put pulp into a saucepan, without water and bring to a rolling boil. While hot, rub pulp through a strainer to remove the seeds. Mix the strained pulp with the skins. Mix together: (and mix lightly through the grapes) 1 1/3 cup sugar 4 tablespoons flour 1 1/3 teaspoon lemon juice Dash of salt Pour grape filling into pastry lined pan. Dot with 1 ½ tablespoon butter Cover with top crust, cut vents in the top crust. Bake at 425 degrees for 35 – 40 minutes and crust is lightly browned and juice begins to bubble through slits in top crust.

This is so correct. Mom made great crust. She would make 4 crusts for two pies and we would enjoy just eating the crust. Nostalgia indeed !!

Grape pie.

For me, this is the most uninteresting matchup ever. I really cant stand either head coach. Katy Perry at half time.? UGH.

It would be interesting to see what happens to the Arroyo team for the rest of the season. Do they continue to run up scores or does a stronger team run up the score on them?

John Unitas. Got to him play at the Rockpile.

Mrs. Lew and I saw "Wild" last night. Reese Witherspoon stars and is very good in this role My daughter and son-in-law who hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2013 also saw it. They have discussed hiking PCT. But probably wont

Where the heck are the parents of this kid ?

I have a goal / resolution to clean out the attic There is so much junk in there, it will be a daunting task. Only thing to remain up there will be Christmas decorations. And to reduce consumption of Freedom Fries..

Hope you feel better real soon John Hammer. Merry Christmas to ALL. breakfast was coffee with Baileys Irish cream YAY

Thursday night football..<<< can this Sunday afternoon, Sunday night and Monday night are enough. I do like the SAT games when the college is over

This ^^^. I remember reading The Exorcist in college and asked my dorm buddies if there was a movie of this book. Then two weeks later the movie was released.

Caddyshack 2 is my gold standard for AWFUL sequels.

IIRC New England has one of the highest ticket prices in the NFL, while the cost to attend a Bills game is amongst the lowest cost. Watching at home is a much better option.

I am doing a double red on Wed Dec 3. That will put me at the 17 gallon mark.

This ^^^^^^^
