More Snow!

View from LR window of the sunrise Sat Jan 8, 2011.

It snowed again here in Connecticut! We had a major snowfall on Friday (January 7th). We got about 4-6 inches. The commute home was a crawl. It took me 3 hours (instead of 1.5 hours).

I took a different route because my usual way includes winding and hilly 2 lane roads. Instead, I took the highways. This way was pretty clear for the first half of trip. But (black) icey roads resulted in a lot of accidents (including a truck fire and 2 fire trucks totaled by tractor trailers).

During the ride home, I had a nice chat with my mom (whose birthday is Monday). I also listened to disc 1 of the audio version of former President George Bush's book, Decision Points (read by the author!).


This is a spoof cover of the real book.

It snowed a bit more Saturday evening too (just enough result in a white blanket).

Snow covered trees - CT 8.

Saturday morning I drove to Plainville for Richard's roller hockey game. They won 10-5 and he scored a goal. After lunch, we watched  (on TV) the NY Islanders salvage an exciting win over Colorado (4-3) in OT. We also worked on his American History homework in between periods. A very nice day.

Clear

Yesterday I received results of the pathology tests of the polyps removed during my recent colonoscopy (see separate post): adenomatous (precancerous). That is good and something of a relief.

Complete.

In an earlier post, I mentioned my reading projects. Since then, I completed my reading of Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible and my first run through of the Book of Revelation in the Bible. I still have about 80 pages to go on the Third Reich history book.

While I am waiting for our Men's Bible Study group to begin our study of the Revelation, I am reading various articles (e.g., from New Jerome Bible Commentary, God's Word Today issues, Dictionary of the Bible [McKenzie], and a fine booklet from the Knights of Columbus: Revelation: A Divine Message of Hope).

I also have a little book (lent by a friend) that I have read snippets of: Breaking the Code-Understanding the Book of Revelation (by Bruce M. Metzger) that I want to go back to.

I also found a very interestering translation with lots of notes about the Greek (which I don't know) from http://net.bible.org/bible.php?book=Rev&chapter=1

And I am continuing reading about the Cleveland Indians in the book I received at Christmas from Richard:

(my copy is not the "Updated Edition!").
