Another bummer! Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow - 6 more weeks of this wretched winter. Well, I guess that the good news is that we are basically missing the snow storm that's passing through tonight and tomorrow. I guess that I really shouldn't complain - living in this condo complex means never having to lift a snow shovel. But it's still cold and icy and the melting snow means that your car is covered with dirt all the time and that the roads are loaded with frost heaves and plagued with pot holes.

Other than using this opportunity to vent, it was a very quiet day as we count down to the transplant. I know that they really do not want you overdoing alcohol before the event and, fortunately(?), I still don't have a much of a desire for a drink - I can take it or leave it at this point! After the transplant, alcohol is a definite no-no, so I guess that it will be in the "leave it" category for that first 100 days.

Tomorrow we'll do the movie/dinner thing again with friends as the days dwindle down until I won't be able to do either one for a year. Gotta make them count while I can!

Not much other news - so I think that it will be a short entry for today....
