Good early morning GH. It is currently 76 degrees here in the Weather Center according to the digital readouts. Outdoors the Weather Channel is reporting 56 degrees and clear skies. In short, as the day wears on, we should have another beautiful day here in our fair city. Sunrise is @6:05 AM. Wednesday we expect scattered T-storms in the AM hours with a greater chance in the latter hours of the day. I am hoping that they hold off during the morning hours as I have that appointment at the car dealer.

On Monday, I did some work for Mary, but my highlighters ran dry. I have to find a way to get more, because I am out of contrasting colors. I may have to go to the local office supply store on my bicycle when Sugar brings me home after our morning walk. I wish I could let her stay outside the store while I popped in, but my own personal fears for her safety and the effect that it would have on her psyche if I left her makes that impossible. I guess that the effect on my psyche would be even more pronounced.

I didn't accomplish much on Monday. Sugar took me for a walk, I did the laundry, I sealed the edges of the tub and I cooked some spinach. I also typed up a to-do list to ensure that I got everything I needed to get done, done. All of that before I worked for Mary. Later in the day, Mary and I also journeyed to the big box grocery/department store. While they generally have everything that you might want at lower prices, the experience is unnerving. I didn't get the highlighters that I needed, although they surely had them; because they were across the store, literally. That store is a  trade off to be sure.

I got to thinking about something that Adam emailed to his mother on Monday. One of his friends is facing a serious medical diagnosis and that has prompted Adam and Steph to do something that they had been thinking about. I have often thought about the choices I've made, or didn't, sometimes driven by my own fears of the unknown. I may have put off relocation, job changes, or travel to a place for vacation due to uncertainty. I may have held off on a purchase as I planned for the tomorrow that may or may not ever come.

Now, Mary and I will be traveling more because we don't know what life has in store for us. After my own personal health issues of the past couple of years, I have decided that I need to get on with life. I once wrote a song about a decision not made by a colleague of mine due to his having "Feet of clay." I think that I have had my own "Feet of clay," moments more often than I care to admit.  One thing that I have often mused on is that time is a fleeting and finite commodity. If you don't use it, you lose it. Just one man's thoughts on the vagaries of life.

Today, more work for the boss and more housework, along with Sugar taking me for a walk and my getting those aforementioned highlighters. I also want to get in some guitar time that I failed to get to on Monday. Housework will wait for later in the week.

In sports, watch this. Boys in blue, loss. Tigers, likewise. Red Sox, win. Caps, win. No hockey, no NBA and no auto racing.

Tea time in the AM. Ciao.
