Sweet people

I know of one...no, two 'sweet' people.

!) Sweet Caroline. At least Neil Diamond thinks that she is sweet. I'm sure you all know that he wrote the song for Caroline Kennedy WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD. Would he call her sweet now? I don't know but according to my beliefs he would not.

2) Sweet Sue. No idea who she is but a musician (????)
wrote a song about "Sweet Sue". Maybe based on a real person, maybe not.

Anyone else?



So, anyone else considered "sweet"?

Let it Snow!

So, I woke up this morning, so excited. Why, you may ask?Either look out your window or look at the title. That will give you the answer- snow! Rockville Centre got about 15 inches of snow! It is really cold outside. Cooper loves the snow, but it is 15 inches and he is a 15 inch beagle, so it is a bit deep for him. This snow will last for a loooonnnnnngggg time. The first snow of the season is always the best! It was a blizzard! It snowed here a little bit this morning at like 7:45. It snowed yesterday after noon and evening, but not as much as the night! By, I would say 8:00 the blizzard came. When I woke up this morning, I was so happy. It looks like a winter wonderland. I'll have a snowball fight later. Hopefully it is a snow day tomorrow, yet the roads will probably be clear by tomorrow. Last year, it even snowed on the first day of spring! But this snow is, I would say like the most I ever seen. I have a feeling (it is a good feeling for me, maybe not for you) that this will be a very snowy season.

Fortune Cookie

We ate out at a Chinese restaurant this evening. Nicole's fortune said "Play Lottery today. Lady Luck is upon you". Unusual fortune we thought. We all agreed - except for one dissenter - that we should buy lottery tickets TODAY. Michael argued against the logic of buying lottery tickets at all - and buying it because a fortune cookie said you should, well ... seemed even less logical.

We picked up 'Lucky Birthday', 'Holiday Cash', and 'Fortune Cookie' scratch off tickets. We gave Michael the 'Fortune Cookie' ticket. Cheryl scratched off the 'Lucky Birthday' ticket - no winner. Nicole scratched off the 'Holiday Cash' ticket - no winner. Michael scratched off the 'Fortune Cookie' ticket .... and won ! His take home is $20 dollars. He and Nicole are splitting the winnings. So much for logic !

Congrats to...

the South Side HS Chess team as they won their playoff match today and are headed for the finals next week! Michael is Team Captain and plays on Board One. Lots of pressure there, but nothing he can't handle!! Good luck Mike and South Side :) Nice way for you seniors on the team to go out!
