The rain began overnight and is expected to continue all day.  It’s a wet and gloomy Sunday, a good day to stay in and watch football . . . . or basketball, whichever you prefer.  I enjoyed the college football games yesterday, especially since Michigan won the Big 10 Championship.  My brother’s team, the Washington Huskies also took their division title, but Michigan will be going to the Rose Bowl.  The Wolverines and the Huskies are one and two in the rankings.  What does this have to do with weather?  Nothing, but it’s a good diversion from this crummy weather that we’ll have today.  Now I’m watching the Lions taking care of the Saints.
