Winter Advisory in effect for our area, currently heavy overcast, hint of rain, total calm, temp 2C. Calling for lots of snow and wind, however temps not dropping till late this afternoon, suspect we may have a bit of rain prior to the snow. Radar indicates lots of rain near the mouth of the Bay will certainly be overhead by this afternoon.

Prom Dress experience painless, and a bit humbling. Decision made quickly, took a teenage girl in sweats and a txting machine to the Big Smoke, I sat in the car waiting. Summonsed so "Pa could see", met a mature young woman in a fancy dress. The deal was done to the degree I didn't ask the price or care for that matter, certainly wasn't expecting that outcome, one I am fortunate to have participated in.

Rob had his Report Card when we returned, he passed everything, even got an attaboy for a Math project. He has obtained max credits to this time, however is now obvious he is more than capable so can only imagine he will be expected to produce this next semester. A good day.

Not a position I had to be encouraged to take, anything for harmony for sure. This combined with another shopping list will make for a hectic tr...
