A windfall week

I went for dinner this evening with a friend who works for Cadbury. She brought me a bag full of candy. It should last a few years--unless I decide to share it.


This is the old elastic band ball started in about 1990 by my father. It is now almost a foot in diameter.


And I was lucky enough to go for a couple of cold ones at P.J. O'Brien's the day after St. Patrick's Day. I'm not Irish, but it is a good pub. The white spots in the photo are rain. Unfortunately, we didn't get more snow--I was hoping we'd break our snow accumulation record.
