Grammy Awards…

I watched the Grammy Awards last night for a little while waiting for 8 PM to watch Desperate Housewives.  First they said a prayer for Whitney Houston which I thought was very nice.  Then a song sung by Bruce Springsteen.  The guy is 63 & 1/2 years old and I am wondering why he thinks he can sing.  Don’t yell at me, we are all entitled  to our opinion.  He chanted the same verse over and over again and at one time during the song he did a split holding the guitar between his legs.  All I could think of when he did that was, boy, I bet that hurt.  I did listen to a few more of the performances and my ears actually hurt.  This is my uncensored critique of the Grammy Awards.

It is 36 days now on the Countdown to Spring.  It is cloudy right now at 28 degrees with a couple of inches of snow due this afternoon, changing to freezing drizzle this evening.  I have already changed bedding and got the laundry done.

I just spoke to my WV sis a few minutes ago.  She made mention of the fact that yesterday, 12 February, was Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.  We are very proud of him here in the state of Illinois for his many accomplishments.  Yesterday no mention was made on the local news (or on the local news) in the state of WV that it was Lincoln’s birthday, although I am sure he will be mentioned on President’s Day 20 February.  The news centered around the death of Whitney Houston.  She was a very talented lady who died prematurely.  Am I getting my point across?

I think now that I might go out and make a quick run to the grocery store.  I hope you all have a good week.

Stay safe and be happy!!
