None this week.

Fines, Happy Bucks and Confessions:

• Vicky suggested Bob Y started a new tradition last week with his “bad-luck buck.” Her white dog, having just had a bath, encountered some melting snow and mud and became a “polka-dot dog.” Timing is everything.

• Mark and Kim went snowmobiling on Sunday. They did a 90 mile loop from LeRoy to Pavilion to Warsaw to Attica and back to LeRoy.

• Nancy’s son celebrated his 40th birthday recently.

• Cindy offered a happy buck for being happy to be here today. She had another for the Brickhouse’s 10th anniversary.

• Dave Stachnik confessed to being a naïve dad. He’s on his way to Albany for a conference, when his daughter calls and says to stop by – she has a surprise. So, he’s expecting an engagement announcement. Turns out they got him a pair of snowshoes on sale.

• Dianne told us that Phoebe did well at the Oratorical Competition Semi-Finals and will be one of 7 contestants in the Final at MCC.

• Dick was happy to be back with us and proved it with a happy buck.

• Dave Read updated us on Mary’s school’s team. They went to championships – won the sectional game, but lost the next one.

Singing:

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Kim led us in “I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover.”
