Good morning GH.  Current temperature on the desktop thermometer reading is 53 degrees.  Sugar the Weather Dog is still fast asleep, and the folks at Weather.com are expecting a high of 73 degrees, and no strong chance of precipitation until later this evening.  Mary will like those numbers, as will Sugar the Weather Dog.  Still looks like a gray day out the Weather Window, and that is at 7:15 AM.  The sun rose at 6:32 this morning, and so much of the day is expected to be shrouded in clouds based on my observations.  We had an exciting afternoon yesterday visiting the local emergency room so that I could get some additional meds to stop my allergy attack.  I am apparently allergic to sesame seeds and the oil that is part of their yield.  I never was before, but two recent incidents have convinced me that I am either allergic to sesame, (highly likely) or garbanzo beans/chickpeas, (highly unlikely).  I am planning a visit to the allergist that my internist refers me to in order to get a follow up and certain diagnosis.  I spent most of my life with no apparent allergies and I have eaten Falafel  and Hummus many times in the past with no apparent reaction.  So, one must conclude that age, brain surgery, or something has caused this new allergy to kick in.  Once, you say what the hey.  Twice, you pay attention and get tested.  There are ways to make Falafel and Hummus without the sesame based Tahini, so I have forwarded two recipes to Mary for her perusal.  Both use Tahini as a side rather than as ingredient.  Otherwise I am fine.  Congratulations to Steph on picking the right horse in the derby.  My horse, a favorite by the way, didn't even finish in the top five.   So much for the experts.  Steph reminded me that I had the winner last year, but I was just coming off of surgery, so I don't remember that.  I think Steph, Mary, or Adam must have made that pick. Today, we are off to the ballet.  When I was younger, I disdained the ballet as too high brow for me, but now I am open to new things; a positive thing for me.  For Adam, a notorious email evader, do we have any jeweler's screwdrivers in the man-cave or elsewhere?  If not, I will order some from the supply it all website.  Now, I will attempt to put the helicopter back together with the only driver I have.  Tea time.
