after easter time out

good time to have a day off from work - right after easter.  i have today and tomorrow off and i got some women's hockey on at the moment.  burlington, vermont is hosting the women's world hockey championship and its been good despite a couple of one sided games and a third one in progress (canada leading russia 11-0 after two periods).  the u.s. beat canada 9-2 and russia 9-0 earlier in the tournament.  canada beat finland 3-2.  would have been one sided had it not been fro the finnish goalie stopping everything.  of course the weather here is nice again.  got 15cm of snow this past thursday and its belting.  supposed to get to 12c today.  some rain on thursday and i saw 17c for monday. wow.  could still snow yet.
