Last Sunday in February

Can you believe it?? Another month is almost gone! Time sure flies when it's cold and snowy and crappy outside! We've been having 3" of snow.... every day.... for forever it seems...... just enough to be annoying....I'd rather see an 18" dump than this piddly fluff stuff!! It's bright and sunny today so there is some melting and runoff...and that means more flooding.... we've had our share of flooding recently too! Someone definitely ticked off Mother Nature and I wish whoever it was would just apologize so we can move on to spring!

Ok... I just came back from the Purdue Boilermakers Women's Basketball game......... We've amazed and astounded just about everyone this year.........our two key players were injured and had to sit out this entire season...... we have a very young, inexperienced team.......BUT!! these girls have fought hard and played hard...and yes, sometimes played really stupid... but we are currently 3rd place in the Big Ten standings........ We have one more game left in this season before we head to Indianapolis for the Tournement........ Most of the powers that decide things had us pegged for 6 or 7th at the most... that'll teach'em!

Today was an especially tough game... we played the spartans hard at their home court...and held them through the first half...and then we played stupid and went from a 9 point lead to losing the game...... today we played hard....the whole game.......everyone played their hearts out and we pulled it off!!!

I also noticed something today......... Michigan brought a lot of fans with them..... that's unusual for any team that comes to play here... they will bring a few...but today there were a lot.... and I noticed one other thing........ there is nothing in this world that can bring a group of strangers together like the Chicken Dance can. Our pep band started playing......and everyone started flapping...even a few of the michigan fans.......it's a sight to behold!

Enough for now........ later this week I'll put up the March goals for those of you that are playing along with the 25 Weeks and I'll post a few pics too.

Take care
