Good morning GH.  It is just about 6:20 AM here in our fair city, and the view out the Weather Window is still not all that clear.  Of course, the sun won't be fully up for nearly another hour, but the current temperature on the desktop is 63 degrees and Sugar the Weather Dog is still fast asleep.  I would be, fast asleep that is, but sometimes when you wake up it is best just to get up.  I did get to the Y yesterday, but it was still kind of crowded at 4:00 PM.  I guess that with the summer, comes more people.  I'll have to try various times during the open/lap swim times to see if there is any difference.   Today, I plan to finish my housework, vacuuming, and then do some crossword puzzles.  However, I think I first need to go to the butcher shop to get some new bones for Sugar the Weather Dog, so that when I am sitting out of doors, Sugar can join me and enjoy herself too.  I can't save the bones each day, because our intrepid Weather Dog likes to eat them in the grass and then leave them for the ants to find.  Recently, she quickly figured out that she doesn't enjoy trying to fend the ants off of her old rediscovered bone.  The other day, she was torn.  She was chewing away on her bone, when she heard the barking sound of a small dog.  It must have reminded her of Shelly, a dog who visited her in the fall of last year and who had tried to "steal" one of her old, dried up bones, and so she wanted to chase Shelly away, but also continue to chew on her current bone.  What a quandary she was in.  She finally decided to let the unseen "bone thieves" lie, and went back to chewing her bone.  It was worth the price of admission.  But I digress.  New bones are in order, and it is my responsibility to solve the problem.  Maybe I can combine a bike ride with a trip to the butcher.  There, I just solved two family problems,  Otherwise, not much on tap for the remainder of the day.  Perhaps a little editing or guitar playing, but those are pursuits of work and pleasure.  So now, wait for it, it is...Tea time.
