Good early morning GH. It is just past 12:00 AM in "The City," and the current temperature is 18°as we head down to our nightly low of 13°. At least the snow has stopped for awhile. I almost took some pictures, but even I don't want to remember this winter. Maybe tomorrow, but that depends on my mood. Our forecast for the week ahead tells me that the snow showers are expected later this morning with an accumulation of less than one inch. I can live with that. Additionally, the high temperature today is not supposed to exceed 14°.

I have no need to go out until Wednesday for P/T, so let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Yes my friends, the weather outside is frightful, but inside it's so delightful, etc. According to the averages, precipitation in February is supposed to be on the light side. Too bad the weather goddess didn't get the message.

Mary has work to do and I have that book to read and some laundry to do with some floor washing. I am finding my book interesting and so is Mary, as I read it to her while she works in the kitchen. Unfortunately, it is like preaching to the choir. There is nothing in the book that I don't agree with. There are somethings I didn't know, but that's to be expected. I just wish that the powers that be would think beyond the end of their collective noses and do what is right. Oh well, I can only hope that somethings change for the better.

I listened to the 50th anniversary of the Beatles tribute done by the Grammys last night. I found it delightful. I didn't mind the various artists who performed either dead on versions of some of the Beatles songs, or versions that I thought brought a freshness to the Beatles classic tunes. When you are working with great material, you have a great chance for a solid performance. I didn't hear any sour notes last night. Since I was up, I decided to write my blog before I went off to bed.

The sunrise today is scheduled for 7:50 AM and the sunset for 6:06 PM. In addition, it is only four more days until spring, spring training that is, when pitchers and catchers report. Do I sound excited? Like I said the other day, I'll be born again, there will be new grass on the field. Now if I could just get a new team on the north side of Chicago, I'd be all set. However, the Tigers look to have a good shot again this year, and my beloved Red Sox should be formidable too. Over in Comstock Park, the Caps should be entertaining as they prepare players on the "A" level of baseball for the Tigers.

So that should be enough for now. Ciao.
