Good very early morning GH.  It is about 12:30 in the AM, so it certainly is early.  I am going to keep this short and sweet.  Currently the temperature on the desktop display is 36 degrees.  There is a severe case of dark out the Weather Window.  The prediction for the early morning hours here in GH is for some fog.  We are expecting a high of 62 very nice degrees during the day today.  I hear that it will be even warmer in Chicago.  Sugar the Weather Dog and I have an appointment at the veterinarian this morning.  She needs to have her follow up on her ear problem and she also needs to have a pedicure.  She has been shaking her head again, so perhaps her ears are bothering her once more.  I know that mine are still not right and yet, the ENT has been unable to see anything in there, so I don't get it.  Otherwise, there is a good chance that Sugar and I will get in some time in the "Bone Zone."  It all depends on how accurate Sugar's forecast is.  She has a lot riding on her accuracy, that's for sure.  Otherwise, I just finished a book by James Patterson, after finishing that one, my next is The Generals, by Thomas Ricks.  My first perusal of the book, looked promising, as I mentioned in a previous blog, so I have hopes.  Then I have more fiction to read.  In addition, Mary has said that she is open to the idea of getting a Christmas tree this year.  We will check into one when she is done with the current indexing project.  That has to be finished by Wednesday, and so Thursday looks like the day to go out.  I have to get a water heater blanket that is on sale at one of the big box hardware stores, as well as a new shade for the light on the ceiling in the bathroom.  We also plan to get some replacement pillows at another big box store, so that should be perfect timing.  Actually, the pillows will allow us to place our older ones in Sugar's bed.  A twofer.  So, until it is...Tea time, I'll say Ciao.
