Snow again in Alabama, March 8

This is the only winter I've been in Birmingham that it's snowed twice. I stayed up all night last Friday night and watched it. At one point it was coming down horizontally and hard as I could see through a street light outside my study. At 7:30 a.m. it was a pretty frosting and by noon there was no sign it was ever there. I guess this is why people in Alabama get so excited about snow. When and if it does come, it doesn't stay long.

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today.

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
