Recovering from the "Arctic Blast"

We had a beautiful day today, not at all like last week. Tuesday afternoon the temperatures plunged to the 30's. Not that bad, you say, well, it only got worse after that. Wednesday morning it was 19 degrees and it didn't get much warmer than 23 that day. In fact, we were below freezing until Friday afternoon. 65 hours to be exact. Friday morning was one for the record books. we had 4/10th of an inch of snow. For San Antonio that's news because it doesn't snow too often, maybe every 2-3 years.The most was back in 1986 when we had 13 1/2 inches of snow. Good thing it was overnight and it didn't affect morning commute too much cuz most people stayed home and the city closed the highways.There was ice on the ground and then snow on top of the ice.It was EVERYWHERE, not just on the roads. The driveway, the "grass", it was everywhere.

The office was open but i didn't go in. I only worked two days that week because I had Monday and Tuesday off for my birthday.

On my last post I mentioned that I had coffee at Starbucks http://starbucks.com/ but I did not mention with whom. It was Letty from junior high.It was so cool that next time I'm in town, we'll do it again, this time a longer visit because it was only an hour long.

For my birthday we ended up going to dinner at Olive Garden. http://olivegarden.com/ It was so good because I had the eggplant parmesan. After that we went to Sam's Burger Joint http://samsburgerjoint.com/ to listen to what we thought was a jazz band. It was, but they also play swing/big band stuff. As a matter of fact, every Monday night they have Swing Nite, the night starts at 7 because from 7 to 8 they have swing dance lessons. At 8:30 the live band takes over and the fun begins w/music and dancing. I was shocked to see mostly young people dancing. Yeah, in their late teens/early/mid twenties doing the Lindy Hop. There were older people too, but it was refreshing to see young people doing this kind of dancing. We had fun that night.
