One good thing

[AJ]

I broke my right hand today, but the one good thing is I could have broken more than one bone.

Hello AJ. I hope that you have a speedy recovery. Take Care. paul m

[AJ]

Thanks Paul.

AJ, I'm sorry to hear you broke your hand - that can't be fun to deal with! I agree that one broken bone is better than several though. I hope it heals quickly. Are you right handed?

One good thing is that the big snowfall that's supposed to hit isn't here yet! Cloud and rain today instead. Yay! - sort of

[AJ]

Tomorrow here. My neighbours have already volunteered.

[uni]

Thank heaven for neighbours sometimes! I'm glad yours are helpful.

Our snow here is falling as I write this, and should continue most of tomorrow. I've reconciled myself to the fact. Today's good thing, believe it or not, was that I cleared some of the early snowfall off my car, and shoveled the walk to get a small head start. Then I went for a wonderful walk -- for 55 minutes as it turned out. The temperature was minus 9 with some wind, but I dressed for it. Didn't have to share the sidewalk or walking trail with many people!

[AJ]

It is cold here with a very strong north wind. Even Bella did not want to go out.

[uni]

We've got mega snow already and it just keeps coming! The good thing is my landlord used his snowblower on the sidewalk today and says he'll come back tomorrow if this keeps
up.

I did some family history research today. Found an old census listing with info about a relative I never knew much about. Fascinating!

[AJ]

That would be fascinating. I know next to nothing about one side of my family.

[uni]

AJ it's astounding how many people know very little about one side or another of their family. It propels some people into researching, while others want nothing to do with it. I've found with my own family there are some of us who can't get enough of the history. Others say (like my one brother-in-law) "why do want to bother with a bunch of dead people you've never met?" It's a valid question. Who knows why are any of us interested in any of our hobbies?!

A good thing today is I got into moving stuff around on some shelves, found a pile of things that needed chucking, and now my old income tax forms are in the "to be shredded" box (with a few hundred other papers). When the actual shredding will happen is anybody's guess! But we may have a long dark pandemic winter where shredding starts to look exciting

[AJ]

I have made a few inquiries about the mystery side of the family, but have very little to go on.

Happy shredding and don't burn the shredder motor out!

Today's good thing is I had a nice Zoom meeting with a friend of mine. It was fun!

[AJ]

It's our birthday on the 29th, so my twin and I are going to have our morning coffee over zoom! I'd rather see her in person, but we do the best we can.

Does anyone know why it's called Zoom? I've wondered
