Another this and that
They say "March comes in like a lion," and considering that we're expecting a real nor'easter tomorrow, I'd say the lion is roaring quite loudly....
It's a new month. A month filled with possibilities. I am always energized at the beginning of a new month.
Today is also the Jewish holiday of Purim, a minor holiday commemorating the Biblical Queen Esther's victory over the evil Haman, thus saving the lives of the Jews of Persia. It's sort of like a Jewish Halloween, or maybe it's closer to Mardi Gras/Carnival -- dressing up in costume, feasting, pageantry, etc. I am celebrating with some hamantaschen -- triangular cookies filled with fruit.
I am crazy busy at work these days, but it's all good. A bit exciting, actually. Well, for me, anyway. I don't think the rest of the world cares about how many lawsuits I've settled this week, or that brilliant report I wrote. If only I could catch up on answering my emails!
Lat night I got a chance to shock Drew. I found out something he didn't know, and the look on his face when I told him...Drew is a huge fan of Andre Rieu, a classical violinist. We saw Rieu and his orchestra in concert a few year ago. Drew has been dying to see Rieu perform again, is constantly checking his email and Rieu's website for a possible concert in our area. Last night I got an email announcing Rieu has scheduled a concert here in September. Drew is so excited! September is a long way away, but still..
Spring training has begun, and I've been watching my Mets play. Can spring itself be far behind? I'm hoping March will go out like a lamb.

We're expecting a storm tomorrow as well, although it's just rain. Considering that's as bad as we ever get, we're bracing. But I'm sure it's nowhere near a nor'easter. Stay safe.
