Good evening GH.  It is just after 8:00 PM here in our fair city, and the view out the Weather Window is mostly dark with a side of ebony.  Currently, the temperature on the desktop display is a brisk 31 degrees.  I should mention that I will be returning the new window mounted thermometer that we bought, because the thing won't stick to the window as advertised.  Sugar the Weather Dog is either in her bed or in with Mary in the media room.  I don't know for sure, because Mary is watching one of her long string of movies at high volume, so I sequestered myself in my office in order to avoid the sound.  I wanted to watch the game between Notre-Dame, and Southern Cal, but since Mary has commandeered the media room, I can't get in there.  I'll have to wait to see if she gets done soon.  We had a good day, going down to Holland to pick up a new clock for the living room, and then going to our favorite watering hole before stopping in to see Sally at the Post to give her the old clock.  She seems to collect them, so she was welcome to it, rather than giving it to Goodwill or some other organization.  I had good fortune in Holland, finding a $20.00 bill lying in the street next to where we were parked.  That paid for our drinks and a couple of lottery tickets.  Otherwise, the clock looks great on the wall and the day went without difficulty, unless you count the necessity of having to walk slowly to the bakery this AM, to avoid breaking our necks.  Sugar wasn't worried, because she can't wait to get to East town and the bakery.  Plus, with her short legs, she would have a hard time falling up.  But, since she is on a calorie restricted diet, she didn't get any treats there.  She may be less eager next time.  So, rather than drone on, I will say adios and get ready for bed and await the morning's activities, including...Tea time.
