After a week of getting up for work I really wanted to sleep in Today, but James and Madeline had Basketball practice and a game this morning. It was certainly worth it because James scored not one, not two, but three baskets during the game!! yay James!
I had fun clearing ice from the roof Today as well. Strange since we have a ridge vent and should never get ice.. But I guess the weather has been on the edge of freezing enough to make a problem. As I was at the top of the ladder I thought back to Spinale building his house and one of the many times he hurt himself. This particular one involved an apple picking ladder on top of ice. The ladder gave out and the top started clacking against the house all the way down. Dan had a box of roofing nails in his hand which he put down nicely on the porch before slamming feet first into the ground. He looked fine except that the force of hitting the ground had caused his liver to move half an inch or something. Evidently this is bad. Luckily this did not happen to me, of course the bottom of my ladder was not rounded either.
