The Room This Evening 

The Room This Morning

1. The flooring project is complete. Chris and I, with a lot of help from Patrick and Tina, took the remaining bedroom from carpet to wood floors in one day. Now it will get a fresh coat of paint! It is funny how we didn't paint the room, yet, but the color looks so different in the photos.

2. March Madness is underway. Sadly, Syracuse did not make the big dance. Maryland is the 6th seed in the West.

3. The world baseball classic is underway. Go USA!

4. Daylight Saving Time has arrived. I am already feeling the loss of sleep.

5. Springtime is taking a break this week. A major snowstorm is headed up the east coast. Hopefully it is Winter's last gasp!

6.  “Daylight saving time: Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.” -- Anonymous
