Storm Ella, and Denis, and Clare, and Benedict, and Adrianne

Today, Wednesday, February 2, 2011,  was the second day of Storm Ella. Ice. Yesterday was the snow. I think we're up to 75" this month. I've been out of the office 3 days this month along with a few shortened days, because of snow. Crazy. Glen had to pick at the driveway today to chip away the sheet of ice. And word has it another storm is on it's way for Saturday.  Somehow we've managed to plan things that landed on good days. UConn vs Duke on Monday, dinner plans with friends and last Friday we went to The Kate in Old Saybrook to hear Jonathan Edwards. Awesome concert. Zabrockys, MacDonalds, Eng/Bowens met there and enjoyed a drink at Penny Lane afterwards. Nice night.

Joined the gym just in time.  Already logged four days there and with the forecast as it is I think I'll spend lots of time there. Started 10k training and am staying on track. Week 2 in progress and hope to get to the treadmill tomorrow morning to log W2D3, 3 mile easy run.

And I completed part II of my first ever batch of Limoncello.  Have to get out to look for pretty bottles to use for storing the brew.  I saved a store bought Limoncello bottle - frosted. Hope to find some like it.

Dinner with Gaye and Roger Whitham tomorrow night.
