Good morning GH.  A quick glance out the Weather Window sums up the weather succinctly.  Sunny skies and few clouds.  Current temperature on the desk top is showing 76 degrees, and the next appearance of storm clouds is on Saturday.  So at best, we have a few more days of necessary watering.  Sugar the Weather Dog is exhausted from the activities of yesterday.  The last aerial explosion went off at 2:30 AM, just a few hours ago.  The city put on quite a show last night, at least my hearing and that of Sugar says it did.  I just didn't have the energy to fight the downtown crowds.  I guess when you have seen a lot of fireworks over the years, that one more display in less than ideal weather, is probably something you don't need to see.  Just one man's opinion, but as the immortal Walter Kronkite used to say, "And that's the way it is."  Today, we will be taking advantage of the post holiday sales.  Well, not really, but it sounds good.  There are a few things we need to get, but they shouldn't take long nor require much effort.  Otherwise, a little guitar playing, a little reading, and I will call it a day.  For now, it is.....Tea time.
