The Ones

Today is January 11, 2011, which can also be written as 1-11-11.  It a special day for a couple of reasons. First, you gotta love such a unique number combination. Second, my birthday just happens to be today!

The snow day I was hoping for last night didn't appear today, although all the surrounding school districts were closed.  I left for work early, and was pleasantly surprised when I didn't have any trouble on the roads.  Our classroom had six students in attendance (out of nine), but there were some rooms with only two or three students.   The office manager put my picture up on the "birthday easel" outside the front door;  I had quite a few people, both staff and parents, wish me a great day.

 I've already had one celebration over the weekend when Son Brian and Nicole were in town.  Tonight I'm looking forward to the nice relaxing evening.  For dinner Tony is picking up pizza and making a salad. Son Donald will come over to eat, and we'll probably end up playing cards or games.
