Good morning GH.  Had a great "Day Off" yesterday.  Today, it is back to the old work a day world.   A quick look out the Weather Window shows a cloudy sky and the current temperature on the desktop is a very mild 66 degrees.   Sugar the Weather Dog is concurring with the National Weather Service, as she seems to be expecting the rain event that was predicted for this morning.  We have varying amounts of precipitation predicted for today, with a peak at around 8:00 AM of 60%.  Looks like a good day to stay indoors.  I hope I can get Sugar to go out this AM, because she often won't go or wants to return quickly if she feels a change in barometric pressure.  That's one of the reasons that she is Sugar the Weather Dog, her uncanny ability to pick up on those weather nuances.  However, sometimes her sense of danger is a little wacky, as I noted the other day.  Yesterday, I finished a novel that was one of my favorite genres, detective fiction.  Started the book in the early afternoon while sitting on the deck and watching Sugar eagerly devour a bone for several hours.  When Mary came down to look for us, she found the things that make a life complete.  A man, his dog, the dog's bone, surf  music on the iHeart radio,  a good book, and a bottle of wine.  Truly, it doesn't get any better than that.  Did I mention that the weather was perfect?  After a bike ride and a superb breakfast, that was a variation on Adam's hash, sans the lamb, and no TV, the day was a perfect 10.  Oh, I did mow the little bit of grass that is left in the lawn  out back, but that took all of 5 minutes.  Otherwise, the day was a total triumph.  Mary is expecting a hard day of indexing for both of us today, and I will help, because now that I know the "secret", I can do anything.  Well, not anything, but I can enter tables.  So, until the workday begins, it is...Tea time.
