It's March 1st in southern Texas and I wore my parka. Actually the day started very nicely ..... the sun was shining, the wind was light, and the shorts and t-shirt came out of the cupboard. It was good to see the shorts as I haven't seen much of them this winter. By noon the wind had picked up but it was still warm .... actually it was 2 degrees warmer than the average temperature for March 1 --- very exciting given the weather. The day flew by .... bridge in the morning (had great cards for once), barbecued some chicken for lunch, attended a club meeting, gave Zaph a bath, took Zaph for a "dry-off" walk and went out for dinner with the group to celebrate a 52nd anniversary and birthdays. During dinner we discovered that several of us had not seen the movie Alice in Wonderland and as the 3-D version is being released on Friday we decided to show the original movie at our outdoor theatre. For those who don't know we bring our video projector to Texas and show movies using the side of neighbours trailer as a screen. Works pretty good as long as you can ignore the vent on the right hand side of the screen and part of the trailer design (decal) on the bottom left. Anyway, when the sun went down the temperature dropped like a rock but the wind didn't. It was a might chilly out there so out came the parkas, blankets, hoods and hot chocolate. The movie must have been good as eight of the nine of us saw the end of the movie. Everyone did scurry to their respective homes at record speed.
