Good early morning GH.  It is fast closing on 5:00 AM here in our still dark city.  The view out the Weather Window is, not surprisingly, dark.  The current temperature on the desktop is 25 degrees, and when Mary and I went out late yesterday afternoon, it was trying hard to snow shower.  We are expecting a bit of snow, 1 - 3 inches over the next few days, but the plus side is, our UV index is a paltry 0- 1.  I just checked a weather advisory from the National Weather service, and they have issued a lake effect warning until 4:00 PM Saturday calling for 6 - 9 inches. Sugar the Weather Dog is sound asleep now, because Mary came to bed late after watching television, and Sugar can't rest comfortably if both of us are not in the same place.

I was supposed to have a session with my student yesterday afternoon, but as had happened the day before, he called late to say he was still very tired and could we reschedule.  He suggested that we could meet two days next week to make up for missed time, but I held out for one, because I still need time for all of my own activities.  Plus, he has had trouble making it to our scheduled sessions once per week, so I was resistant to scheduling additional sessions before he can make it to one.  We'll see what happens next week.

Today, Mary and I have nothing planned, except for things around the house.  Me dusting and vacuuming and assorted other activities, like playing guitar. Mary, reading, a new knitting project, and cooking.  I like the last one best.  I also want to make an addition to the man-cave, which while not particularly useful, it will add ambiance. Adam can see it when he comes up next time.

Speaking of guitar, we have a session of the Irish Jam scheduled for Saturday.  The usual coordinator, the director of communications for the library, has another commitment at that time. But, I will go, weather permitting, to see if anyone comes and just jam a bit. Since the sessions are never formalized, the result will be much the same, and may in fact, be even more free form. It all depends on who, if anyone, makes it.

It will soon be...Tea time, and the day will begin anew.  I wish we had a consistent weather forecast.  If we get the predicted 1 - 3 inches, no big deal.  If, on the other hand, we get the predicted 6 - 9 inches big deal, especially for my aching back and my plans for the Irish Jam.

So, before I go back to slumber land, I'll remind myself to take some pictures later today and tomorrow for reference sake.  I sure hope those snowblower parts come today.  I am so glad that they expedited my recent request, emphasis added.  Ciao.
