A Stay-at-home Weekend w/music

It started snowing yesterday a little before dark, while we were socializing in our old neighborhood, so we came home early. Stopped by the neighborhood local for a drink and picked up some beer battered fries to bring home. It was snowing heavily when we got home and apparently it never stopped for long throughout the night.

There was probably 5 inches of new snow this morning and it kept up for the better part of the day until about 4:30 pm...when the sky cleared and the sun came out for probably 45 minutes. The weatherman tells us to expect this same weather pattern to last for nearly a week. So bloody tiresome. Anyway we never left the house today. I watched an instant movie from Netflix and the Florida Stakes horse race on tv. I picked the winners of the 2 races they showed, before making some pasta slumgoo for dinner. It was pretty good even though I overcooked the penne. In between all this non-activity I managed to wash/dry/hang/fold and put away all the laundry except bed linen. I'll save that for tomorrow probably. These dreary days just seem to slip from one to the other. It feels like there will never be a spring.

Anyway on one of my groups stage musicals was a topic and I went looking for a show tune I liked enough to remember for many years...and found this wonderful rendition by the terrific Elaine Stritch.
