Feb. 3.. the Day the Music Died

Today's National Recognition: The Day the Music Died 

Feb. 3, 1959 was the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and Big Bopper died in a plane crash in a corn field in Clear Lake, Iowa. I was just reading the complete story of what happened (again) and there was a whole sequence of events that lead up to the crash. But I can remember his music very well. His records were the first ones I bought myself when I was growing up.


Our HD cable box: 
The Time Warner repairman was here this afternoon, as scheduled, and got our box working again. He was explaining a lot of technical stuff to Bob, which I'm not sure he understood, but he told Bob what went wrong with the box. Bob told him about his conversation with the phone tech yesterday and what that man told Bob to do. This guy said he's the one that totally screwed up the codes in the box. But we're ok now and Hubby is happy.

Today's weather report: 
We had cloudy skies most of the day. The sun did peak out briefly off and on, but not enough to give us any warmth. The snow did start melting in a few areas. It seems the roads are all fairly safe. Today's high was only 17° with 20-30 mph wind gusts, making the wind chill around 5°. Tomorrow is suppose to be more of the same.


Golden Girls: 
Today on the Hallmark channel is a marathon of Golden Girls. I love that show. Now matter how many times I've seen each show, they can still make me laugh.

Today's celebrity birthday: 
Norman Rockwell was born on Feb. 3, 1894.
He's quoted as saying:  "The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back."

 

A Sweet Treat: 

I got hungry for something sweet this afternoon, so I scrounged through the cupboard in search of ideas and ingredients. I ended up making some small blueberry muffins.
Then for supper we had pizza from Pizza Hut.

Daughter #2: 
Lori called this afternoon. She's our daughter that lives in Michigan. I haven't seen them since Christmas Eve. It was nice talking to her. I miss them.

Super Bowl: 
I guess the game isn't going very well. Bob's watching it in the other room and he said if the 3rd quarter isn't any better, he's changing the station. He didn't like the half-time show, the commercials are stupid and the power went out so they have a long delay. Oh, well.  

I hope you had a good day.
God bless.
