Happy Super Bowl weekend to all. It has become as much of a holiday as Thanksgiving or Halloween by this point. I don’t follow sports very much, but I do like the half-time show and funny commercials.

Meta Outrage
By Andrea Menzies
Here is a new article posted February 4 on BlueSky about the latest horrible things META has gotten from Trump. Huge profits, and almost no taxes for social workers or school teachers like me. More people should be outraged, but the news is not posted on Facebook. 13.7 billion not paid in taxes, and people wonder how teachers with degrees like me lack healthcare in America.

Work Back
By Andrea Menzies
I am so glad they are giving me more teaching work to do tomorrow. Snow days are fun at first, but the snowman company loses charms really fast after the first couple days. I am starting to understand why many really scary films have people being trapped in the snow as part of the plot.

Happy Groundhog Day
By Andrea Menzies
Groundhog Day is February 2nd so Happy Groundhog Day to all! According to legend the groundhog runs from a shadow if there is going to be a long bad winter, and with the storms we just had here it is clear he will need Olympic grade running shoes for his shadow this year. Maybe a tiny racing motorcycle to escape the monster shadow.

Artic Bummer
By Andrea Menzies
This Artic Blast is now officially a bummer. All schools, airports, and work things are closed. Yet fun and social activities are also not-do-able for the week as well.

Prize Won
By Andrea Menzies
I won three prizes for the SunnyFit app gold metal New Year’s Resolutions contest this week! They really send awards won with fitness points on the free app! I have asthma and a heart murmur so I must do fitness very slowly like one mile per hour. Yet slow and steady win the race. The little bracelet I was not surprised they sent me for free, but the bike cadence sensor was really nice and also free! My podcast review is this is the best fitness app on the Internet. #Winforfree
Free SunnyFit towels. 
Free SunnyFit bracelet. 
Asthma medications are what I must take before workouts.

Double Workout
By Andrea Menzies
Woot, I made it to a 180 day workout level for my New Year’s Resolutions app workout on SunnyFit. I normally go on a health kick for New Year’s Eve but seeing a friend’s death online really made my workout urge double.

Ed Books
By Andrea Menzies
Ed gave me his paperback copy of Time Enough For Love years ago. Now I can never give it back because he was found dead this week. One of the reasons I started to review books online was that many friends used to lend me books and talk about them constantly in Texas and Louisiana when I lived there unlike Virginia. I redownloaded the book to remember my lost friend this week.
A last song request by Ed. https://youtu.be/SkMQ1IYf4r0?si=DryeuwrnCuoC5Mru
