We went to see the stage production of Mary Poppins last night. You know: “A spoon Full of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down”, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidoshis (?)”, and “Step in Time”. Your Mom remembers taking a couple Grasshoppers to the movie theater to the the film release of Mary Poppins starring my sister Julie Andrews and Dick VanDyke. Timeless!
Our freezer compartment on the Sub-Zero refrigerator puked. God sends messages in funny ways. I had purchased a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice creme. I’m supposed to behave myself with sugar intake and “Chunky Monkey” isn’t on the preferred list. When the freezer crapped out, my ice cream turned to mush so I had to throw it out. I got the message.
A story today in the Milwaukee paper was about a company that was awarded $10 million for developing a “green”, efficient light bulb. It is an LED design, very efficient and sells for $50 per light bulb. Now there is a wise government award of $10 million. An efficient light bulb that nobody is ever going to buy! Is this a great country or what?
My recent insight on the potential of Marquette going far in tournament play went down the toilet last night. They lost their first game of the Big East tournament. It isn’t even the NCAA tournament play yet. What the hell?
Weather turns to 50-60 temperatures next week. Do I dare think of getting snow tires off?
Love,
Dad
