Day 3 - 364 -- Scurrying Around Again

Here we go again!  I'm madly trying to get gobs of things done that need to be ready for next week or for the weekend. A colleague and friend shared with me today that the number of days between when grades are due and classes begin again has been shorter the past few years, so it isn't just me thinking that I used to be able to do this and that it has something to do with aging. In true science fashion, she presented the data for the past couple of decades in a bar graph figure. <smile>

So, what will you be doing New Year's Eve? I will be home that day finishing the things that need to be done before a new year arrives -- general cleaning, laundry, accounting and such.In the evening, I will be home and  will watch a movie or something equally as laid back. We are expecting another major nor'easter tonight through tomorrow, that they predict will be a weather bomb -- bombogenesis a particular form of cyclogenesis where the barometric pressure drops at least 24 mB in 24 hours. The end result is major wind. We should get mainly rain with this one -- 15-25 mm. This will be finished on Friday, so New Year;s Eve will be the calm after the storm.

A song that fits only this time of year is shared today. There are many covers of this one. I've chosen one from a favourite New Orleanian <smile>. [The videos for this one were just odd, so this is one with the lyrics floating by -- feel free to listen while doing something other than watching the screen.] Enjoy!
