Marching in Like a Lion

Ok. Ok. So it's been a week since my last post. It's been a busy week with a massive snow storm and all. Granted, I didn't do much shoveling,that's because of my arthritis in my knees and weak back. That doesn't stop me from writing about the weather, though.

Last weekend in the La Crosse, WI area where I live, received roughly 2 feet of snow. Whether it was both a right foot and left foot, I don't know. What I do know is that yesterday, Feb. 28, the Upper Midwest was supposed to get the March lion of a winter storm complete with snow, sleet, freezing rain and so on. That wasn't good for me. I'm supposed to have a job interview in Eau Claire at 9 am on March 1. That's where I am now. I'm in Eau Claire. I drove up to Eau Claire Wednesday evening to avoid much of the foul weather so I wouldn't have to do battle with the March lion twice in one day. Since I'm interviewing for a job that requires a fair amount of travel, I hope March will, as the old saying goes, go out like a lamb. That, in part, is the sentiment of my next column to appear in the Coulee News, Onalaska Community Life, Holmen Courier and on this blog.

Stay warm. Stay dry. Stay safe.
