Good morning GH.  It is about 10:45 in the AM, and Sugar the Weather Dog and I have just returned from a field trip to the wilds of GH.  It is still cold out there, but we are expecting warmer temperatures by this afternoon, with rain showers.  Currently the temperature on the desktop is 28 degrees, with a high of 42 expected.  Thus the rain, and the prediction for occasional showers after noon, building to a steady rain.

Sugar and I walked almost a mile on our fact finding safari, and we can tell you for sure, that it is both cold and slippery in some places.  Sugar was not to be denied, as she sniffed everything she could get her nose on as we journeyed.  We got the NY Times  at our local independent bookstore, and then went around the neighborhood several times until she found what she was looking for.

Our new spice store here in GH, is now open, albeit on a winter schedule, and it looks promising.   Mary got a spice she has been needing and then we had lunch.  From there, we journeyed to the Post and had a few beers and conversation with Sally and the young lady who went to Vegas. She said that the Pawn Stars were filming and that it was an interesting experience to see. Finally, we came home and I proceeded to fall asleep.  I have to be sure to teach Mary how to turn on the television upstairs, because she had to call and wake Sugar and I from our nap to get directions.

Mary, went to bed early, but every now and then she does that.  Me, I wasn't really tired after my short nap, but I did manage to stay awake until nearly 11:00 PM, and then stay asleep all night, hence the seeming lateness for this blog.

I have to be sure to give a shout out to Adam for his recommendation on these glasses.  They work great, I can see again, and best of all, they were a lot less money.  It really doesn't get much better than that.  Adam would say I'm cheap, I'd say I'm fiscally responsible.  See, I learned something from his education.

I got a reply from Stephany regarding how her new job is going.  Seems all is going well and she is on a learning curve, but enjoying the experience.  Best of all, it is a break from her previous career(s) in the finance area.

Otherwise, not much happening here.  We may, and I stress may, walk downtown, just because. But, as I told Mary, I'm not walking in the cold rain.  Ain't no way, no how.  I had my...Tea time, and I won't get chilled again.  Pardon my channeling of a partial lyric from one of my favorite bands, but like it said, it happens.

So, until next time, Ill say Ciao and bid all a fond "later much."
