Yes, for the first time in YEARS we will be watching. We were trying to remember the last time we watched a game, and since neither one of us can recall, it has been a while. Or we’re getting old which also has taken a while!<\/p>\n

This morning I made pancakes for breakfast using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pancake Mix. I fixed it with egg replacer, and almond milk, so it is as allergen free as possible. It is also not as good as my own recipe, but it was edible.\u00a0 The parrots knew I was making something, and there was quite the riot until I divided up one of the small pancakes and shared the fresh hot bread with them.\u00a0 The riot consisted of Opal squeaking, Oro making a whining baby bird begging noise, and Terry saying “Want some breakfast?\u00a0 Want some foooooood??”\u00a0 She goes for the direct approach.<\/p>\n

Now it is all quiet and the sound of happy parrots playing with toys and gritching their beaks.<\/p>\n

Mishkin followed me around hoping for his share, and complaining a bit about species discrimination when he didn’t get anything.\u00a0 So now, after that disappointment is forgotten, he’s running around the house doing “halloween cat” postures and trying to entice us into throwing his mouse.\u00a0 As we are well trained humans, we comply.\u00a0 His reflexes are simply amazing and continue to improve.\u00a0 If his mouse reflects off something, like the stair bannister which I am sure I couldn’t hit if I was actually aiming at it, and rebounds into a different direction, he can switch his trajectory and snatch it out of the air while leaping more than his length when he is\u00a0 standing straight up on his back feet.\u00a0 It’s quite impressive.\u00a0 I’ve no doubts that either of the super bowl teams would love it if their receivers had even\u00a0 half of his abilities.<\/p>\n

I’m making pizza for lunch today.\u00a0 We love pizza.\u00a0 Last night there was a show on television about the history of pizza and we found it quite fascinating.\u00a0 This evening while the game is on, I think we’ll just snack on corn chips and a five-layer bean dip.\u00a0 I’ll make that sometime today; leftovers can be made into burritos for tomorrow’s lunch.<\/p>\n

Looks like it is going to snow today, which is bad news for our driveway.\u00a0 And it means we won’t get any solar gain from our panels.\u00a0 They are standing there looking up at the sky, and they seem sad with the thick clouds looming over them.\u00a0 It was above freezing temperatures yesterday, albeit briefly, for the first time in a couple of months.\u00a0 We heard from Dan’s brother that he has daffodils poking up out of the ground.\u00a0 Ours might be doing that as well but it is hard to see them under two feet of snow.<\/p>\n

\"Definitely

Definitely looks like snow in them thar' clouds<\/p><\/div>\n

This is our picture of domestic bliss for the day.\u00a0 Hopefully all who read this are enjoying a similar day!\u00a0 But maybe with sunny skies instead of snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
