Cuz-o-War After Cicero Country Pizza Dinner, a Day of Grading, the Return of the Cold, and More College Hoops

As I began noting earlier this week, Spring Break matches nicely with the beginning of March Madness, and even though I typically keep the volume off and just look up from time to time, it is 100% conducive with a week-long grading fest (of course, I've only finished done class and now have the other one to dig into). 

Mom wasn't feeling well, so Dad and I drove to Cynde's to get Karal out of the house. It was also physical therapy in the afternoon, so resting wasn't the usual option. It might have been the lunch, too. Kielbasa, taters, and salad didn't appeal to either parent. We had Cicero Country Pizza which tastes exactly the same as it did 40 years ago (it's the Sicilian crust and the sauce....very memorable). I'm amazed the restaurant is still doing at it has always done. That is not the way of all eating places.

I love seeing Lucie and Karal play (talk about two names out of the 40s & 50s), and when they leap from couch to couch. They're both strange pups, but somehow accompany one another well. Love when they begin cuz-o-war. 

Hoping for another productive grading day today, knowing I need to get back to plan the week ahead. And yes it was cold. Yes, it snowed last night. Yes, it hurt. And yes, I knew it wasn't over.

And I think I need to go to Wegman's.
