Dear sahirrnee,

A miscalculation on the part of the groundhog.

That has been [taken care of.](http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2013/03/22/prosecutor-chucks-book-at-groundhog-for-bad-prediction/)

Dear Noone,

Perhaps you should reconsider your dislike of Vampi…legal assistance.

Dang, **Moooommm** …

It’s currently in the upper-50’s here near the front lines with Canada. Sunny and actually a nice spring day, for a change. These newfangled weather patterns take some gettin’ used to.

Also, there are two hairy woodpeckers making a racket in the bird feeder - they want more suet.

I just bought tickets for me and some of my friends to go see Spamalot on my birthday next month.

Yes they were expensive. Yes I can afford it. No, you can’t go with me. 😛

I’m excited! No more world burning for me today.

Saw Spamalot on tour a couple of years ago. It was way awesome. The black knight scene alone is worth the price of admission.

I’m so ashamed.

When I stopped to pick up the pizza I forgot to get chocolate.
