Good early morning GH. It is just past 1:00 a.m. in "The City." I show a current temperature outside the Weather Window on my analog weather instrument of 32°, as we drop to an overnight low of 22°. That's according to the National Weather Service, whose forecast calls for a high today of 26°. In addition, they are forecasting a 70% chance of one inch of additional snow. By Tuesday, an 80% chance of snow may bring us three to five inches more, with a high temperature of 25°. Wednesday, another 80% chance of snow, no amount predicted. Oh well, the sun will still rise today at 7:37 a.m. and set at 5:19 p.m.

We had a good day. We got up late, I walked with Sugar the Weather Dog, and then I settled in and finished the crossword. I also finished my latest non-fiction book and pulled a fiction book off the shelf. It's by Jack Higgins, The Death Trade, and it features Higgins' character, former IRA member Sean Dillon. I haven't started it yet, but should like it, as I usually do.

Later in the day, Mary did some work related things and then we walked to the Post to share some of my chocolate chip cookies and have a Bloody Mary. Naturally, my cookies were a hit. Going to the Post was a slow slog in the ice and snow. However, the return trip was somewhat easier as we took advantage of the ice-free sidewalks that are a part of Washington Avenue downtown.

Later this morning, Mary has a conference call related to her work and I have to take the morning constitutional. Before her conference call, Mary has to go to the bank for some additional information for her latest work project. Then I'll be settling in to read the newspaper, do the crossword, and then read my novel. What's not to like?

I watched the Bears defeat the Vikings, and then watched the Lions fall to the Arizona Cardinals. Sometimes football viewing uses all the energy you can muster. It did for me, and so I decided it was time for bed, until an hour ago. I typed some music and now this blog.

That looks like enough for one day's activities. Ciao.
