1/5 Rusty AMPS 88, +5.5 46, +9 52, PMPS 93, +4.5 89

Yesterday

LagoonMeister Rusty was patrolling the deep end today, but I guess all is OK there, since he's back near shore. He slept all night last night and forgot to eat, wasn't interested in breakfast, but lunch and +9 snack were eaten readily. He's waiting on us to sit with him before beginning his dinner.
Cold, snowy, and blustery today. The western edge of the Adirondacks and an area called the Tug Hill Plateau are getting 2 - 3 feet of snow. We'll get a little of that, so skiing and snowshoeing should be good this weekend.
Today was a day of chores: paperwork, some food shopping.
Last night's showing of "Reds" has to be rescheduled because the Netflix DVD had a huge gouge in it. So our group watched "Rear Window" instead. Hadn't seen it in ages. It really is a good movie, Hitchcock's best, I think.

Hoping all is well in L&LL,

Glad Rusty came back up easily--I guess the deep end needed a quick patrol.

I'm glad Rusty came back up and surfed for you. Rear Window is a good movie.

How can you forget to eat Rusty? Fuds is good! They help you stay away from the sharks.

We are on "yet more" snow watch here too. I want my typical Vancouver winter back.

Those are pretty impressive numbers Rusty!

I love Hitchcock. Love to see the Meister in his Lagoon. Enjoy the snow!

I'll bet you're itching to get back rowing! Glad that you can thaw out the hummingbird food. The only birds we have at our feeders this winter are chickadees and nuthatches.

We are! Happy New Year Liz & Anne! Thanks for your e mail.

Rusty got a slightly short shot this evening (unintentional), but I'm thinking I should take his dose back down--maybe half way between the skinny 1/4 and the fat 1/8. What will I call it??

'night everyone

we're getting snow too.... it's wonderful.....

i'll try to scan the house this weekend for those syringes..... if I'm here....
if we get enough snow.... we may run off to ski.

A "scat" 1/8 or a "finny" 1/4?

Ella, you go to the fathom events live from the Met right? Did you see that you can subscribe now to streaming of the Met programs? If you are interested I'll share the link!

Much more important--and fun--to go skiing! Thanks, Rhiannon

Thanks, Les. Yes, I know about Met streaming, etc. (I am a member of the Metropolitan Opera Guild and get endless e mails from the Met). Next to seeing an opera in the opera house, the Met in HD is the best venue because it is on the large screen. But if one can't get to either the house or the movie theater, streaming would be great. Thanks for thinking of us.

Great that you're finally getting some good snow, Ella. We are getting rain, rain and more rain. We're on a two day break right now after more than an inch in the past couple of days, but there are two big storms predicted for this weekend that could bring around 3-5 inches to our area, and more in the Sierra foothills. Guess all that praying for rain we've been doing has paid off. Anyone know where we can find blueprints for an ark?

Hi Tricia, I'll pick you guys up in our canoe !
