Good morning GH. We just passed 12:30 AM in "The City" and the current temperature is 73 degrees as we head for a high of 67 and a 20% chance of precipitation. Go figure. The radio station from GR is saying   there is a suggestion of flashes of lightning, maybe. How's that for definitive?

On Saturday, Mary and I went downtown to check out the Art Walk. Sure enough, there was art on our walk. We spent a few moments on a rooftop having a brew and then another few moments having a brew at one of the places with the windows open to the street. In both cases, the view of the channel in the downtown was superb. Some very expensive boats in the channel and many people just walking. I doubt that the day could have been any better. Now it is just quiet outside my window except for the late departures from the downtown eateries.

We finished our afternoon at the post and that is always a great experience. Sally was Sally and the other people were just having a good time. It was the day for the Euchre tournament and those people were having a good time too. One man actually hit the Daily Jack for $410.00. I usually say that I have never met anyone who knew anyone who had won anything. In this case I can say that I did.

Sunday promises a bit less activity. Mary has some work to do after I am done making pancakes for breakfast. I've never done them from scratch before, but I am confident that I can do it. A little over confident maybe, but what's the worst that can happen? I know, cereal and toast for breakfast. But I will not be deterred. I probably will have more problems getting the table set. Fortunately for me, I went downstairs earlier and discovered that the dishwasher hadn't been run, so it is now. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any tableware with which to set the table. Gosh, I remembered to not let the preposition hang off the end of the previous sentence. When in doubt, rewrite.

In sports, the boys in blue lost once again to the Cardinals. 2 - 6. Mercifully, the season closes for the boys tomorrow and they won't lose 100 games. The Tigers fell to the Marlins 1 - 2. Keep the faith. My beloved Red Sox also lost, 5 - 6, to the Orioles. I still feel good about their post-season chances. The Northern Illinois Huskies handily trounced the Purdue Boilermakers 55 - 24. They are now 4 - 0 in the MAC. The MSU Spartans had a bye week as did the UM Wolverines. Wisconsin probably wishes they had a bye week too, as they lost to OSU 31 - 24.

I tried watching SNL earlier, but I think that it has passed me by. It might have been funny, but it wasn't holding my attention. Oh well, maybe that proves you really can't go back again. So that's about it for the day. The girls are sound asleep and I will be soon. Ciao.
