weather?

It's not been a fun week for me but finally on Friday evening my apt. has power back. I won't be staying here anyway I think... still must monitor the situation with my mom in case we have to haul her back out again.

So how is everybody else faring?

TONIGHT'S CLUB SESSION CANCELLED!

Lexington is under a Winter Storm Warning from the National Weather Service in Louisville. For the Lexington area, 3 to 4 inches of snow accumulation are expected by Tuesday morning with another 1 to 2 inches of snow and sleet possible by Tuesday evening per NWS's 11:37 a.m. alert.

Joetta sent out the e-mail set out below, cancelling tonight's club session at the new location, VFW Post 680 on Leestown Road. Our first session there will instead be on Monday, February 2.

Subject: 1/26/09 -- meeting cancelled tonight
Date: 1/26/2009 11:35:48 A.M. Eastern Standard Time

Folks,

The first Monday night Scrabble meeting is cancelled for tonight due to the possibility of bad weather conditions. I hate to do this, but I would also hate to be stranded at the VFW tonight.

We still plan to meet next Monday, February 2, 2009 from 6 - 9 p.m.

Thanks,
Joetta

From the Director . . . (GREAT NEWS!)

In case anyone has not already heard (and to get this happy event properly recorded in the blog archives), I am posting Joetta's e-mail from Wednesday here.

Lexington Scrabblers,

We have been talking about meeting frequently for a long time. The large turnout at Good Foods is evident that a lot of people like to play Scrabble.

Albeit with short notice, I would like to announce the beginning of Monday night Scrabble.

A location has become available for us to meet EVERY Monday evening from 6 to 9. I have booked the room for the next two weeks with a long term option.

Our Monday night Scrabble will be held at the VFW Bluegrass Post 680. The post is at 1494 Leestown Road in Lexington. This is in the Meadowthorpe area just inside New Circle Road. I don't know how to link to mapquest for directions to send you, so just call me if you have a problem 859-321-3060,

We will be meeting in the post meeting room just beyond the canteen. After you enter the front door, press the buzzer to the right of the next door and that door will be opened so you can come in. Turn left and go into the first door on the left. Signs will be placed on all doors.

We have lots of table space already set up and lots of space in general along with close restrooms and a limited concession from the canteen. They offer the best chili dogs I have eaten anywhere. Due to the small cost of renting the room, I highly recommend you try the chili dogs and some soft drinks. Even though alcohol is served in the canteen, children are allowed in the meeting room.

I am really looking forward to see you there on Monday nights!

Many thanks to Joetta for finding this additional meeting location for our club!!!

(If you did not receive Joetta's e-mail directly and want to be included in the Lexington Scrabble Club's e-mail distribution list, please send an e-mail to let Cheryl know at postmaster@lexscrabble.info)

It was inevitable...

Either Insight Web Hosting or the domain registry company they use has sold my name as registrar of our web site to the credit card vultures.

Goodness, the perks Capitol One is offering me for my "small business!" With one of their credit cards, I can even get frequent flier miles. I'm going to send them a not-nice letter telling them that my "business" has no credit rating, much less income, and they can take their offer and ...well, I might be nicer about that.
