So I survived rollerblading last weekend. 3 hours is a long time. At least Allison's new rollerblades fit well-no blisters. And I took the girls out to dinner afterwards for italian food. Plus Allison and I slept in on Monday. I decided to switch my day off and go into work on Friday instead so we could spend some time together.
Allison had the day off since they just wrapped up midterms. We were very happy to see her do so well. She even did much better this time around on the county assessments. So to celebrate we both went to see the new Avatar movie. Yes it is about 3hours long. But surprisingly it didn't seem like a long movie. Although the theme was a bit cliche, Allison and I really enjoyed the story. We didn't see it in 3D however since Allison gets motion sickness and we heard stories of people getting sick, even passing out at the 3D IMAX film! Allison wasn't taking any chances. It was nice going during the weekday too since we had no trouble getting in-friends of ours said they went on the weekend, and the movie is still selling out. We also had time to go to the GS office to drop off our final report for the girls' Silver Award. I am happy to report that I just received the girls approval letters, so each one of them will obtain their Silver Awards. The timing was good since last week we all attended an orientation for the Gold Award-this is equivalent to a Boy Scout's Eagle Award. Most girls start working on the prerequisites in high school and then complete their project during their Junior year in High School. Finishing your Silver Award counts towards the prerequisites for the Gold Award, so we are almost there! Or at least we have a good start anyway.
And on Friday night, Allison and I attended a Girl Scout meeting for our Up All Night Junior Girl Scout Event coming up in March where the older girl scouts run stations for the younger girls. This year we are running a Sports Badge. Allison plans on introducing the girls to Field Hockey. We are also hoping to have a sports equipment collection if the council approves of our idea. We also collect food that night for the local shelters so it may be a bit overwhelming. That program is in March, and we stay up all night running the event at our local mall. I am always amazed that I can stay up all night!
And Tom was home this past week which made life a lot easier. He was able to help out with all the carpooling-running Allison to piano, field hockey and Scott to gymnastics. Not to mention studying with Scott for all his tests this past week. He even braved a snowstorm to accompany Scott to his Cub Scout Klondike Derby event on Saturday morning. We started the week off with 60 degree weather, and by Saturday we had a snowstorm with 5 inches of snow! This was the leftover storm that barreled through California and all across the southern portions of the country. Our weathermen only expected a light flurry, maybe 1-2 inches on Saturday, so the Cub Scout Klondike Derby was still on. The boys met at a local state park and worked on scouting skills like fire starting, shelter building, use of an axe, knot tying and most fun of all, they use a sled/rolling cart to get from station to station. They managed to get through several stations before the state park closed due to the snowstorm. Which was a shame, since this was their opportunity to fulfill some of their scouting requirements to advance to their next level. Right now Scott is a Webelo I and at the end of the month, he will advance to WEbelo II-he has already transitioned into his khaki scout shirt from the blue cub scout colors. Now I just need to buy a whole new batch of patches to sew on! Hopefully the Den will be able to reschedule some of the activities. I am also helping to organize some cub scout programs, including a sleepover at our Science museum. I took the girl scouts to a science sleepover, and they had a blast. I am sure the boys will love it too! And as if we didn't have enough scouting activities this weekend, we attended Scout mass on Sunday morning. It was an especially nice service since Scott's den was awarded with the Webelo I Religious medal. We stood up during mass at the altar with our new Monsignor and the boys were awarded with their medals. We have been completing a workbook since the fall, and the boys had to meet one on one with Fr Dietzenbacher for approval. One nice thing about having a new german monsignor, he was able to pronounce our last name when he called Scott up and when he mentioned my name as leader of my girl scout troop!
We all celebrated with an all you can eat pizza buffet at CiCi's pizza. We also stopped into the pet store to pick out a baby gate to keep the dog off the stairs and on the main floor. She keeps eating all the kids books and papers that I place on the steps to go up to their rooms. Or she sneaks upstairs and eats the cat's food(not to mention socks and toys). I also signed her up for the next level of dog training. We need to work on things like how to keep your dog from running down the street to play with the little neighbor girls in the snowstorm! Fortunately, she was easy to find since I was able to follow her trail in the snow!
Besides chasing after the dog on Saturday, I also managed to shovel the first batch of snow and get in an aerobics class and grocery shopping before the roads got too bad. Tom had to clear the driveway a second time before church Sunday morning with the snow blower. The kids are a bit disappointed since this probably means they won't miss any school seeing how the storm hit on a Saturday. We got up to a whopping 34 degrees Sunday so we had a bit of a meltdown. The kids are still hoping for at least a one or two hour delay on Monday.
At least the snow storms didn't interfere with Tom's trip to Alabama Sunday night. He will be there all week, so I am on my own with the kids again. And naturally I have another jam packed schedule. I'll let you know how it goes! Kathleen and family

Well we all survived our very busy week (last week) . Tom spent most of MLK Monday studying science and geometry with Allison while I went to work. Scott just enjoyed playing with the neighbor's son all day.
Tom was off to Orlando bright and early on Tuesday morning, so I had drop off for both kids. Allison had a full day of school on Tuesday, and started taking part of her midterm exams-gym and piano. She is done with her gym class now(which seemed more like health class) and now she actually takes health class next semester. She is happy though because she knows the instructor-Miss Allison! I sent our Allison to a summer camp fitness and fun class about 5 years ago at the local community college, and Allison really enjoyed the class. Especially the pogo sticks! We spent that summer hunting down a pogo stick for her very own and finally found a good one at the Salvation Army store in Michigan! The kids have long since worn out the spring, but now I see they sell them at Toys R Us. So if anyone gets any jumping ideas, we're all set. Anyhow, she is happy to have a class with someone she already knows. Kinda like Linda Seitz running into the kids she used to babysit and from the daycare(wait until you've taught for over 30 years and are retired from teaching for about another 10 yrs like my mom Linda!).
So the midterm exam week started off on a good note(no pun intended/piano theory exam), but it got a lot more intense as the week went on. The rest of the week was scheduled on half days with two exams per day. Weds she had History and Piano again-the kids each learned to play a new piece and had to play for each other and the teacher. Thursday was Science and English. Friday she had Geometry and Spanish. It was helpful that she got home by 1130 each day so she could spend time studying. I just had a hard time helping her review-not many hours left in the day by the time I pick up Scott from school and get home and make dinner. And she had so much info to cover. Tom had made her lots of Geometry quizzes to complete on the computer, and I practically downloaded an entire book off the internet for grammar. I think the English midterm was the toughest. The kids had 3 books to review(Night, Raisin in the Sun and To Kill a Mockingbird). They also had grammar and needed to know the rules on writing research papers and how to write an outline. It also gets more complicated since we have State Assessments that the kids have to pass in 11th grade in order to graduate from HS. Is this the same for all of you around the country? The kids have to pass math, science, govt. and english exams before they can graduate. Allison has already placed out of math, so she will just have 3 tests. So each semester they are given county assessments as well in order to prepare for the final tests(kinda like PSATs/SATs). Allison did not do well on her first English county assessment last semester, so I was trying to get her up to speed. However, the teacher changed their schedule and gave the kids the county assessment the week before he said it was scheduled. I was a bit upset since I specifically asked him when the test was scheduled so we could spend extra time preparing. He had assured me it was during midterm week. Then he admitted he made a mistake and gave it to them the week before. It did not give us a chance to trial the study quizzes on the state website he had also given us, but then again, when we tried to log on , the password he gave us was invalid. After that he said he couldn't help us. So glad this is an Honors class. After all of that, it looks like Allison ended up doing very well, and even bumped up her county assessment test to a B this time! Much better than the failing grade she got on the first assessment.
And she is very happy to have survived her first midterm week. Little does she realize how many more midterms and finals she has to go! We are just proud of how hard she has been working and her good grades, as well as babysitting, playing piano and playing field hockey on top of it all. She had two field hockey games Weds night, and then began practicing with our neighbor's team. His daughter is in middle school and they needed a goalie, so Allison is volunteering to practice with them. It is good for her playing skills she practices for 2 hrs Saturday morning. So she gets a long, 3 day weekend with Monday the 25th off. I decided to stay home with her and switched my day off so we can go see Avatar.
Scott wishes he had an extra day off since he is busy with lots of tests too. We did enjoy a trip this Saturday morning with his Environmental club to the Baltimore power plant. We had always thought the huge facility was a recycling plant, but it actually is a huge incinerator that burns trash to produce energy. It is a very clean facility with lots of filters and scrubbers so there is not alot of pollutants being put into the environment. And it produces steam which turns the turbines to make electricity. Our favorite part of the tour was looking down onto the 8,000 tons of trash being scooped up and dumped down the hopper into the furnace. They burn everything and then the ash is spread out over local landfills. Apparently a pretty green running facility built back in the 80s. It runs power for all of Baltimore and 20,000 homes. (Scott also enjoyed wearing the hard hat and safety glasses on the tour).
Tom enjoyed his trip to Orlando and even stopped in to see his Mom and Dad on Thursday night for dinner. He certainly misses the warmer weather they started having, but we have shot up to a balmy 40degrees so it's not too bad. The kids hoped to get off school last Friday as an ice storm was headed our way, but turns out it wasn't cold enough. They already had a half day, and I took Scott to the doctor since he fell off the playground equipment last week and has been complaining of jaw and neck and back pain. He had landed on the side of his head and I was worried about a hairline fracture or a cracked tooth. We have to wait for the xray results now.
When Tom returned from Florida, we had a fun evening planned on Saturday night. We ended up having dinner out an one of the better Italian restaurants in Baltimore. The city sponsors restaurant week with discount 3 course meals. We were able to get reservations for dinner before we went off to see Young Frankenstein at the Hippodrome theater. It was cute-just like Mel Brook's movie(but I missed Gene Wilder and the original cast). Igor was funny and cute of course.
We would have liked to have visited with Tom's cousin Jane and her husband Steve visiting DC from Indy. They were in DC to participate in the March for Life rally on Friday morning. I guess they had a busy short weekend though and couldn't squeeze in a visit. We'll see them though in June when we travel to Indy for Stacey and Matt's wedding.
So today I am off to rollerblade with the girl scouts for 3 hours. Hope my knees hold out!
Kathleen and Family

Well, we Raven fans don't have a whole lot to celebrate this past weekend. The Ravens took on the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday night and I'm afraid that was the last time we'll be wearing our purple jerseys for awhile. We did enjoy the evening watching the game with the neighbors. It is alot more fun when you have a whole room of people screaming at the television. Guess it didn't help since Ravens lost 20 to 3. And apparently the good luck brownies didn't help either. But I'm not going to get into any big discussions since Indy fans are tuned into my blog. We are however looking hoping for an exciting game between Colts and Vikings. Good Luck with that Colts! Favre was looking pretty hot in today's game against Dallas. Not that I got to see much of it. I was helping Allison review for her mid term HS exams last week. She has quite a bit of info to cover. Tom had the first shift with geometry and earth science. I was covering health and fitness. And Scott is busy memorizing the states and their capitols. We had to get most of Allison's studying in today though since she and Tom just went off to a 3 hour indoor field hockey goalie camp.
Allison started playing indoor field hockey with our local county Parks and Rec dept. this past week and she loves it. Unfortunately she has to share with the other HS goalie, but since they play for an hour each week, I told Allison it would be a good idea to have some back up just in case she gets sick or has to skip a game. And the girls take turns playing, so it gives each one a chance to rest a bit. It is certainly a lot more fast paced inside a gym then playing on a grass field. And our neighbor was hoping to recruit Allison for his Saturday morning league. So she will have a great chance to keep up her new found skill.
She also devoted a portion of her weekend to helping out with our church's confirmation candidates at their potluck on Friday night. The candidates and their sponsors all get together at church for a huge potluck and afterwards the candidates complete some educational and fun workshops. Allison helped the other high school peers put on the workshops. Plus she had a free meal out of it, but we did donate a pan of brownies for the event. Last year we went with Grandma Bozyk to the event and Allison really enjoyed all the games and activities and figured she could handle it again. This weekend the kids will be making their confirmations, but I don't think we will attend. As I recall, the church was packed for both services(there are so many candidates, they have to split them in half for two different masses). But overall Allison earned herself about 40 hours volunteer time which she puts towards her required service hours for high school.
So we didn't get to celebrate a win for the Ravens this past weekend, but we did celebrate a win for Scott and Tom! Actually, two awards for the Pinewood Derby Cub Scout car race held this past Saturday. Usually our Den holds their race in March, but this year they decided to bump it up earlier so the boys could show off their cars in February at the local mall during the Cub Scout Event. It did not give Scott and Tom much time to prepare. Scott designed a great lego car and Tom was going to attach it to the wooden base. It probably would not have gone very fast, but it would have looked cool. They have trophies for scariest car, most colorful, coolest, best design, most paint and funniest. But then I went and brought home a Pinewood Derby design book and after Tom and Scott leafed through it, they decided to ditch the first idea and go for a speed design. Tom cut out the design, and put on the wheels, Scott sanded and Tom gave it a gold paintjob. Anyhow, Scott's car came in 1st place for his Den, and overall took 2nd place in the championship race. So he brought home two trophies this year! Now Tom has become the official consultant for Cub Scout Dads and sons in the neighborhood and he has one a car sitting here in the kitchen that needs cut out for our neighbor's son. He doesn't have much time to work on it though since he is off to Orlando this coming week. So I know I will have an extra busy schedule coming up. He is taking some holiday time tomorrow to help Allison prepare for her upcoming tests. I will be busy at work on MLK day(double pay!).
Scott also had to work on his cub scout religious medal this week, meeting with our new parish priest to go over his completed workbook. The boys will be receiving their religious medals at Scout Sunday at the end of the month.
Welcome Home Uncle Joe! My uncle returned home from the hospital after open heart surgery. He needs to slow down a bit though. (if that is possible). I went and had my own heart assessment this past week-an ultrasound to make sure my heart valves were working properly. Looks like I got a good report card. And it was quite fascinating to watch and listen to my heart working. How amazing!
In world news, I am sure everyone is following the rescue efforts following the earthquake in Haiti. What a phenomenal task. Michael Bozyk, Dave Bozyk and we can all attest that any magnitude earthquake is no fun.
In local news, our Baltimore mayor was asked to resign after being found guilty of stealing gift cards for the poor, as well as the questionable act of accepting expensive gifts from local government officials for city projects. Rather than doing jail time, she resigned with an $83,000 per year pension. Who says Crime Doesn't Pay? There is a local group protesting, but I don't know how they'll do. According to exMayor Sheila Dixon, she deserves the pension after spending 20 yrs working for the govt. So another council member was bumped up into her place. We'll see how they do.
Stay warm! Kathleen and family

Wow! We just enjoyed another exciting Ravens Sunday football game with our neighbors-exciting because the Ravens beat the Patriots today. Last Sunday we watched the Ravens win as our neighbors joined us here at home for dinner and Good Luck brownies. The brownies seemed to be doing the trick. We borrowed the idea of the Good Luck brownies from Mark Seitz. Today we enjoyed Cincinnati chili/Detroit Koegel vienna hot dogs and of course, had good luck brownies again for dessert. So far the Good Luck brownies have been working for the Ravens along with the Colts! So next weekend the Ravens will be visiting Indy and playing against the Colts. How ironic is that! Guess both families will have to go all out on the brownies!
We managed to enjoy the game in between dropping off and picking up the dog from the Petco Groomers. She was beginning to look like a small sheep, so we took her in for a shearing. I couldn't keep up with cutting out the mats. So she got a whole body shave and she has just 16lbs left on her. She hasn't been cut since the end of August, so there was a whole lot of fur there! I hope she doesn't freeze now!
We also had an early morning start to the day since Allison served mass. She had two newbies serving with her and she did a great job directing the brothers on what do. And our neighbor's daughter was presented with a certificate and gift card during mass for winning a Knights of Columbus Christmas poster contest along with two other school aged children.
It made for a long Sunday since we were up late Saturday night having an adults only dinner with several neighbors. Our neighbors originally from Columbia South America wanted to have several of us over for a sit down formal South American meal. They hired a babysitter for the little ones, and we divided the girls and boys up with pizza at two other houses, then headed for dinner at the third house. Augustus made us beef tenderloin wrapped in salt and cloth soaked in water and cooked it over the hot coals in the fireplace for 30 mins. We also had a South American rice and potatoe dish-a little like a quiche. We brought hot, spicy appetizers to share including a favorite-jalapeno hot pepper poppers that I grill in a special pepper rack that I bought when we visited Dan and Sheila in Texas. As a matter of fact, the rack is in the shape of Texas! You have to clean out the jalapeno peppers, and then stuff them with cheddar cheese mixed with garlic and cream cheese and top the whole thing off with a slab of bacon. They are definitely spicy! Dessert was vanilla ice cream with coconut sprinkled on top and a tangerine/yogurt pie with crushed cloves. Overall a very enjoyable dinner and fun catching up with the neighbors on their holiday vacations.
In case you didn't know, it is still pretty cold in most of the US. We had a quick snow storm blow through on Thursday night so school was delayed for 2 hours Friday morning to clean up the 3 inches of snow on the roads. I had to take Allison and Scott in late while Tom headed off for a meeting at work. I also had to shovel the driveway and sidewalk before I dropped Scott off, but afterwards it wasn't too cold outside so I put away a few of the outdoor Christmas decorations as well as my fall flowers that I never had a chance to move after Thanksgiving weekend.
Scott's whole school week schedule was off since the kids missed their Christmas parties and Holiday concert before Christmas. They were supposed to do all of this before Christmas, but because of the 2 feet of snow, everything was cancelled and the kids missed 3 days of school. So they were spending the day on Weds this week making it up. I just wish Tom or myself could have seen the Holiday concert since Scott was singing with the choir. Tom had planned on attending before Christmas. Every class in school, from Pre K to 8th grade performs and the music teacher has really done a great job in the past with getting all the kids involved and teaching them how to sing a song or play an instrumental piece. And the 8th grade always reinacts the nativity scene. Guess I will just have to catch next year's performance. I wish they would start videotaping the programs.
Weds night I had my GS Leadership meeting. Our Service Unit manager is trying to recruit me for her position since she will be retiring next year. My girls will be done in a few years too though so I am not quite as interested. I was busy signing them up for a couple of upcoming activities scheduled at the end of the month including rollerblading and a orientation for our Gold Award.
At work my boss has me helping to redesign some seated exercise groups for the nursing home residents. Thanks for the chair exercise DVD Mom. Looks like the staff may be able to use it. I also picked up lots of info on the internet for other chair exercise groups. It is amazing what you can do in a chair-sounds good to me!
And Tom was busy this weekend helping Scott design his Pinewood Derby Cub Scout car. The Cub Scouts have races with small cars they design and build with their dads. Scott and Tom have won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place so far. Scott was going for a Lego design which he made and it looked wonderful, however, I found Tom and Scott a book on car designs at Michael's Arts and Crafts store, so they scrapped that idea and decided to go for a speedy car instead. The race has been moved up to this coming Saturday this year. For the past 3 yrs it has been held in March, so it does not give them much time to mess around. I also had to register the two of them for the Klondike derby- an outdoor winter course filled with different stations for scout tasks including reading a compass, tying knots, building shelters, and this year the boys get to race a sled! They have to get in their requirements to move up from a Webelos 1 to Webelos 2 before their Blue and Gold banquet this February. And the boy scouts are celebrating their 100th anniversary, so there is a lot happening.
Allison and I helped out the GS choir on Saturday morning at a singing workshop for leaders. We had 3 hours of fun singing a lot of crazy campfire songs. I can't remember all those crazy songs! But it was fun trying!

I am happy to report that my Uncle Joe Borg, Mom Bozyk's brother, had successful open heart surgery this past Monday at Henry Ford hospital in Detroit and headed home on Friday. Fortunately he did not need a valve replacement, but did have an aneurysm forming in the cardiac artery that was repaired. Just to keep an eye on things, I have scheduled an echocardiagram this Friday for myself since this seems to be running in the family. And I have also been diagnosed with a heart murmur in the past when I was pregnant, so it is probably good to have it checked out. But we are all happy to hear Uncle Joe is recovering nicely.

Well, I am off to work on next week's schedule. Try to stay warm! I hear it is getting so cold in Florida, the iguanas are going into hibernation and falling out of the trees! Think warm thoughts! Kathleen and family

Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! We just returned from a rather chilly visit in Detroit with my parents. Although Baltimore is not much warmer. We returned to some very gusty winds and cold air and our power keeps going on and off from the strong winds. But we are warm and cozy inside. We returned just in time to stay up late and watch the sad MSU bowl game against Texas Tech. Sad since MSU lost and sad because all they talked about during the game and half time was the firing of the Texas Tech coach(still can't quite understand the whole story) and the poor behavior of the MSU football team members that were suspended for fighting. Apparently they got into a fight after they ended their season with a loss against Penn State and following their end of the season banquet. Guess they felt they didn't have much to celebrate and instead 14 members lost their opportunity to play in a bowl game.
We did however enjoy our visit to Michigan after Christmas, although we had a bit of a rough time driving through Toledo, just south of Detroit when it started snowing and the freeways became rather slippery. We drove past several cars that had slid off the freeway in Ohio and Michigan. We were happy to have arrived safely. Next we tackled the snow and wind. First I had to hunt down some more warm snow clothes for all of us, but mainly for the kids. I discovered they had grown quite a bit since last winter and we headed off to several stores in search of snow pants and coats. Then Grandma and I took the kids over to the library where they had a sledding hill around the back. The kids really enjoyed sledding, but the cold winds kept us off the hill by nightfall. They both discovered that the old wooden sleds with the metal runners worked very well, even more fun than the plastic sleds.
We had planned on catching up with some friends from Maryland also visiting family in Michigan for a trip to the Henry Ford Museum, however, we ended up back at the library. We found out that we needed to close out and sign the paperwork for our home loan that was about to expire before the 1st of January. Fortunately, our loan officer was able to find a representative there in Michigan who met with us at the library on Tuesday afternoon to finalize the paperwork. So back to the slopes for the kids. It also gave us the chance to meet up with some MSU friends for dinner that night.
Weds we went off to the Henry Ford museum. We had taken the kids to Greenfield village many years earlier, but never went into the museum. It is mostly a transportation museum demonstrating how American culture has changed -they have a lot of old cars, campers, bikes, motorcycles, wagons, trains and historical pieces such as the chair Lincoln was shot in. Scott's favorite part was the visiting Lego exhibit from the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. He spent over an hour at the building table. We also took advantage of some free passes we received from the library for a tour of the River Rouge truck factory. The workers were off that day, but we saw several films-one on the history of Henry Ford and one that shows the whole car production process from pouring of the steel to assembly of the cars and trucks. The production film is a 360 degree 4D film to try and replicate the real process like I saw when I was a kid(but a lot less hot, dirty and stinky). Even though the line wasn't running, the kids got the basic idea with the films and the staff. We will have to take them back someday when the line is running especially to see all the robotics working. Afterwards we had to try out Cheli's Chili Bar(REd Wing). We thought it was ok, but we really miss Gordy Howes restaurant in Traverse City. He closed a few years ago and we are missing his all you can fish and chips and the penalty box. But at least Cheli's had the bubble hockey game which kept the kids busy while we ate onion rings and drank our beer.
Thursday, New Year's Eve, we were off to Mount Holly(Tom's old skiing hill) to spend the day skiing with my Wayne State friend Laura and her family. We apparently picked the best day-there was a light snow falling and all the hills were open and not crowded at all. Scott managed to try every one of them! Including the black diamonds! The staff reported that the place was packed on Tuesday and Weds. We actually had moments where we were the only skiiers on the hill. And a fellow skiier told me he lives in Toledo and he only brings his family to Mt Holly to ski rather than the other local ski hills. Guess we did well. And we all had a great time, right up to close at 530 for regrooming of the hills. We even had a taste of night skiing since they turned on the lights around 5pm. After a full day of skiing, we headed back to Dan and Laura's for some take out food and games until cheering in the New Year. That was more than enough activity for all of us. We dropped off to sleep before 1230 am in our friends finished basement.
New Years Day we all decided to head over to Dave and Busters to let the kids get some game time while we all had lunch. Then it was back to Grandma and Grandpas.
We hit the road again on Saturday and of course had a difficult time driving as we rolled through Pennsylvania. The big salt trucks were out and coating everyone's car windows while the strong winds were blowing snow across the roads. None of us could see because we all had the same problem-frozen windshield wiper fluid. Instead, all the drivers were pouring windshield wiper fluid directly on the windshields at the rest stops-including us. Thank goodness Tom had stocked up when we were shopping in Meijers.That seemed to do the trick.
So we are back in Maryland with a busy study day for Allison. The kids are back to school tomorrow and thanks to the snow storm before the holiday, Allison just tacked on another 3 days at the end of her school year. So she will be in school until June 22nd. And the winter season is still young! So no real snow here in Baltimore, but it is pretty cold this week. And today we have to cheer on the Ravens! It would be nice if one of our teams could win.
Hope you all had a great holiday! Kathleen and family
