Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting
Now Playing: Kelly Jean Caldwell--"I Used To Be Sad"
Today is very strange--a little last flick of the winter whip in the middle of spring (or as close to spring as this godforsaken corner of the globe gets). It's snowing a little outside and the wind takes no prisoners.

The news today has good and bad. Good--apparently the Detroit News is "reprimanding" Mitch Albom. Bad--John Mills is dead! I knew the guy was as old as a rock, but this is still a little sad, yet one more passing of the torch. It's all here.

Another fun-filled Planned Parenthood volunteer night Thursday, as I declared my love for cheese and both Jess and myself received a barrage of ribbing from Meredith regarding our continued fondness for "The O.C." This weekend's been pretty blah, but that agrees with the weather, and it's nice to relax after Friday, which was insanely busy.

I'm listening to the Kelly Caldwell CD right now, "Banner of a Hundred Hearts," for which the show April 7 was a release party. Absolutely divine. Once again, one of the few good things about this area is that it has a pretty decent little music scene. I missed the Of Montreal show at the Blind Pig last night but will definitely be there for the Hard Lessons and Avatars show on the 30th. Two of Michigan's greatest bands for a reasonable cover charge--very nice.

Name: Mom

I didn't know about Mills until I read your blog. Please look up Heller; you'll love him.

Dave reports winter-like weather also, so don't feel alone. For your information, the weather here is GLORIOUS today: 71 at 5PM--what a treat! And...if memory serves, you always LOVED cheese!

Schools closed Monday here because of teaher "sick-out"; the Legislature opens on Monday and they are going to rally (yeah...right--they did this just to shut down the system). In the meantime, my under-served kids are getting a day with no instruction. This has made me very sad, and highly disappointed in a number of individuals.

By the way...where is it that you work?

Love,
Mom
