Good morning GH.  It is nearly 7:00 AM here in the fair city and the current temperature on the desktop is a brisk 54 degrees.  Of course, Sugar the Weather Dog is still abed, and the view out the Weather Window is sunny and very clear; with not a cloud in the sky.  That's not a good thing unless you work outdoors for a living or if you are into other outdoor activities.  Yesterday was relatively uneventful.  We took Sugar the Weather Dog for a nice walk in the morning, going down by the Boardwalk, and then back through the city via Franklin and Washington.  I stopped off at the local bookseller and picked up the NY Times and the  Detroit Free Press and proceeded home for a morning of reading and resting.  Mary was working on the index, and when she finished, she walked Sugar and I edited the final draft.  No major problems were found, so it was sent to the publisher for printing.  In the afternoon, we had lunch, a fine effort by Mary and I actually did some good knitting and some not so good knitting.   I am improving though.  I can now get a knit and a purl correct, most of the time.  Now if I can just get rid of those extra stitches that Mary has to rescue me from periodically, I'll have it down.  (I think I coined a new meaning for the term double knit.)  In the late afternoon and early evening, we all went outside and enjoyed the view on the GH channel.  A few beers, a couple rum and cokes, and the channel looked great.  I started a new book about a guy who gets a minivan.  It is a humorous look at what happens to a man's life when he decides to stay home with his children and takes on the role normally assigned to the wife.  He finds that instead of a radar detector, that the electronic amenities in his minivan are a real boon.  If you like Dave Barry, Tom Bodett, or even Erma Bombeck, then you will like this book entitled Dan Gets a Minivan.  Now that I am not inebriated, it may seem different, but that remains to be seen.  Otherwise, Mary plans to sew my new skull cap today, and since it is already cut out and partially sewn, it should go well.  Me, it looks like a little watering, a little walking, possibly more knitting and guitar playing, and more reading.  Til then, are you ready, it is...Tea time.
