Ides of March

March comes in like a lion...

1. With 80 degree temps here in San Diego, you could have fooled me! Yes, the Santa Ana winds have blown in for these past two days and warmed everything up. They blew over a once tall pine tree on the hill below our house. The warm weather has allwoed me to replant the front flower bed and trim up the bushes & trees. The nice thing about the winds this time was that they followed about four days of wet and dreary winter weather.

2. Ides of March... The Lions signed a DE Dewayne White from Tampa Bay. They're hoping to sign Kevin Curtis- a WR that studied at Martz U in St. Louis. In addtion to this they traded Dre 'Big Mouth' Bly and a 6th round pick to the Broncos for 1,000 yard rusher Tatum Bell, RT George Foster and a 5th round pick. They also unloaded James 'The Wolverine' Hall for another fifth rounder to the Rams. The Lions actually improved themselves- for once.

3. Moved the bed back in front of the window so thje cool night air will tickle us as summer approaches.

4. I racked three batches of wine today. Blueberry, Raspberry and the Berry Mix got taken off their lees. They tasted a little thin so I added some more sugar water to let them continue thier ferment. They'll be 12% alcohol before we're done. I'm hoping they pick up a little more flavor soon or I might add a drop of essence to the gallon.

5. I got the 'beast' smogged and tagged for another year.
