Good early morning GH.  Well, I got up about an hour and a half ago to just do some work on Mary's indexing project, and lo and behold, one and one-half hours elapsed.  Maybe I shouldn't have, but I want to feel as though I am doing my part.  Currently, the desktop temperature is a brisk 39 degrees Fahrenheit, and of course, the view out the Weather Window is dark.  But, Sugar the Weather Dog and Mary are sound asleep, as they should be.  I went to bed early, about 8:30 PM, because I felt as though I couldn't stay awake any longer.  I was watching the girl in the blue gingham dress and her little dog, along with lions, and tin men and scarecrows, oh my.  I can't wait for Mr. Smith goes to the building and loan.  But, I just couldn't make it.  I did watch the Lions go down to defeat earlier in the day, after the inaugural U.S. Grand Prix was over and Lewis Hamilton had pulled out the victory in a rather convincing fashion over the early leader, Sebastian Vettel.  I have to say, that it is more exciting than watching taxi cabs race.  The track looked phenomenal and made me more than ever, resolve to go back to Road America this coming year.  I just have to decide which event I want to go and see.  So many choices.  I learned on Saturday, that GH is planning a music day, similar to their Artwalk, that would include numerous musical acts and of course, our little Irish Music Jam group playing in Central Park.  This will happen on September 7, 2013, so if Mary and I are going to go out of town to celebrate our 40th anniversary, it will have to be either before or after.  In addition, September 7th is Adam's birthday, so we would have to work around that.  Once again, so many things to consider.  Otherwise, I got a lot of pages highlighted in the wee hours of the morning, so that is all good.  I turned down the water heater, and also had time to sit outside and read as Sugar chewed her obligatory bone.  No blog would be complete without a mention of Mary's culinary skills.  She made a vegan chili that was/is to die for.  Everything that my mother's chili wasn't, Mary's was.  I can honestly say, that I don't miss the meat.  Although, there are times that I sneak in a little beef jerky, just for old time's sake.  Today, I have a doctor's appointment with the ENT specialist at 8:40 in the AM, so I'd best be heading to bed.  So, until it is...Tea time, I'll just say "Fare the well."  Addendum, my hearing is the same, I have an outer ear infection, and the ENT "Vacuumed" out some detritus and I have new drops and and orders to not get my ear wet, just like a Mogwais from the movie.  Gosh I feel like a new man.
