Our weekend was rather uneventful also. I worked an overnight shift from midnight Friday until 8 am on Saturday.  I came home and tried to sleep while James worked a day shift.  I crawled onto the couch and turned on the TV (even when I worked nights full time, I've always had a hard time sleeping during the day) and napped until 11.  When I woke up, I turned on the inauguration just in time to see everyone leave the White House for the Capitol.  Molly was napping on the couch as well, and woke up at about the same time.  Now, I really don't know what was going on in her furry mind, but every time she saw Bush on the TV, she growled... well, at least she was looking towards the TV and her timing was great.  While he made his speech, she growled and mumbled the whole time.. of course, I thought the whole thing pretty comical. When James got home from work, we changed and went to an installation dinner for one of our fire departments in the county.  (If the Chief Dispatcher doesn't use her invitation, she makes it available to someone else from the dept to go.)  We had a good meal, got to visit with a lot of folks I haven't seen in quite a while and danced a bit. Drove home in a snow storm, but that was fine, too. Sunday morning we slept in until James got up to go on an ambulance call.  About 5 minutes after he left, I heard him call dispatch and say they had to find someone else to go because he was in a ditch and needed a tow truck.  Fortunately, hearing his voice on the radio, I could convince myself that he was safe, or at least not hurt badly.  He got home about an hour later, having had our mechanic pull him out and check over the truck.  Thankfully James and the truck are both fine! The rest of the day was pretty well a wash.. we just hung around the house and finally went food shopping late in the afternoon.  We came home, I made enchiladas and my sister and her dog came over for dinner.  We watched 3 episodes of Law and Order, and then she went home, and the weekend was over, way too soon!

Friday night I made John take me to (don't laugh) Long John Silver's for dinner. Mmmm....another reason I need to go to Kansas to visit my mom

It's interesting that both you and Paula posted that you watched 3 episodes of L&O over the weekend!  I just started watching the new shows this season and recently discovered that A&E runs old shows at 11pm.  I am embarrassed to say I have missed very few in the last few weeks - it's a great show! Well, I hate to be feeding your addiction <g, but A&E shows old L&O episodes at 7PM as well as 11PM (two different epidodes).  A&E also frequently runs marathon L&O weekends, and mini-marathons (which is, I suspect, what Paula and I both watched) of three or four episodes in a row. I am a huge L&O junkie - I've been watching since the first season. I have to admit, though, that I like the old episodes better than the current season.  I'm not a really a fan of Angie Harmon - she's not very believable as an ADA. I get to see them filming L&O a fair amount - all the outside courthouse scenes are filmed at 60 Centre St., which is the Supreme Court, New York County[1] - the court in which I appear most.  The criminal court building, 100 Centre, is a heinous 60's all-glass monstrosity, and doesn't look very courthouse-ish . - Jocelyn [1] Supreme Court is New York State's trial level, not highest, court.

[1] Supreme Court is New York State's trial level, not highest, court. Thanks for explaining that! I have always wondered. Jodi
