Happy Monday Everyone

I hope you all had a refreshing weekend.

Nothing much happened here at The Outpost because it's been raining. All weekend. Yesterday, I didn't even get out of my pajamas until 4 p.m. I'm not sure why I even bothered. Oh yeah, it's because The VP wouldn't take me out to dinner unless I showered and changed. His concern over what others might think borders on the unhealthy.

Friday night I did have a soccer game. Outdoors. Only 3 women from the other team showed up, so we gave them some of our players and scrimmaged. Hey! Loads of fun that was! It was cold and raining and the game was a recorded victory for us before it began. I could have spent those two child-free hours shopping in a warm, dry suburban mall.

Sunday I was supposed to have a game. I didn't go. Sunday's are a pick-up league, so I don't feel as though I'm letting anyone down when I decided to stay home. It's miserable enough to be playing soccer in cold weather and have it start to rain on you; it's thoroughly wretched to have to your uniform soaking wet before kickoff. So I took a nap instead. Margaret, did you make it?

Today is going to be another busy, busy day. We're off to run a dozen small errands, among which is going to Little Lenses, where we will discover if The Senator's frames can be repaired or whether we will have to buy a new pair of glasses for his next bike accident. (Sorry Nana, didn't mean to make you flinch.)

I haven't been able to read any of my favorite blogs either, so let me know if there's something I shouldn't miss. (Aelfheld!)

If you're reading this in Minnesota, have a dreary Monday. I hope the sun is shining on the rest of you.

It was beautiful here in NYC, but that still didn't prompt me to change out of my pj's. I did NOTHING this weekend b/c my little sister is coming up Friday for her 21st birthday!! Needless to say, I'll be drunk for a solid week once she lands.

If you haven't read Bill Whittle's newest essay, put everything aside and do it now. Warning: it's in two parts.

Oh, BTW, Steve H. has his tomato sauce recipe up, among other things.

Here is something that is worth reading.
