Good early morning GH. It is nearly 5:00 AM here in GH, and the view out the Weather Window is dark. The current temperature is 27 degrees. We are expecting a temperature of 49 degrees when the Easter egg hunt takes place at 11:00 and then a final high of 53. In all cases, precipitation doesn't appear to be relevant until late on Easter Sunday. All good.

Today, Mary and I will start out to watch the hunt, and then I will take the time to repair that garage door seal and enjoy the weather. But first, I have to try to see my new glasses with my old inadequate glasses and replace the silicone nose piece that failed. There is something to be said for getting things of quality at a higher price. But, I think I can uses the nose pieces from my sunglasses as replacements; that is if I can see them. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the world.

Had a nice time with the "kids" at the post on Saturday afternoon. A few too many libations maybe, but a good time none the less. Dinner was a first in a long while for me. Adam made his pan-seared beef steak and it was delicious. Mary accompanied it with her soon to be famous potato salad and her also soon to be famous version of an old favorite, green bean casserole with home made onion rings. Together, they were all delicious. Yes, I fell off the wagon this time, but I doubt if I'd make a habit of it. Unlike most good things, you can get enough of this good thing. So, it is back to that which I have come to love, working for beans.

Speaking of beans, Mary and I have plans to watch the Cubs opener from Pittsburgh on Monday. We have our nachos and cheese with sliced jalapeno peppers for openers, followed by veggie hot dogs with florescent  green relish. We also plan to charge each other $8.00 for a beer, so that we can feel like true in-the-park fans.

As I mentioned, the "kids" will be departing today so that they can get back to home and laundry. Oh the joys of returning from a vacation. Still, they wouldn't have missed it for the world as I've said before. The vacation I mean. I simply must make a mention of the slide show that a friend sent that shows Lake Shore Drive in Chicago in all its magnificent glory. It was accompanied by some appropriate music. Since Chi-Town is our hometown and Steph's adopted hometown, it was great to see.

Now I can go back to bed and rest until it is time for the car talk show that I am weirdly fascinated by. It is locally produced and hosted, and I am totally captivated. Like they say in the opening credits of the show, "If it has an engine and wheels, two wheel or four-wheel drive, a big block, V6 or V8, they are talking about it." Or words to that effect. As I've also noted, the older the vehicle and the higher the mileage, the better.

So, it will soon be...Tea time and time to get my day started. Ciao.
