Good evening GH. It actually is evening, or late night if  you prefer. Since I took a nap in my chair in the media room earlier this evening, I am now awake to blog at an earlier hour. Not all bad I guess, but this has to stop. At any rate, it is just past 11:30 p.m. in "The City." We have a current temperature of 45°, and we'll be dropping to a low of 39° before the sun rises at 7:45 a.m. Sunday promises a 90% chance of more rain and a high of 51°. Sugar the Weather Dog likes the warmer temperatures, but she doesn't like not getting her morning constitutional. However, she also doesn't like the rain either. We'll have to see if we can get that walk done before the sun sets at 5:13 p.m. tomorrow evening.

Sugar might have gotten a walk this morning, but Mary was experiencing some eye issues, so we had to go to the eye doctor for a quick checkup. Everything turned out normal, apparently a consequence of her nearsightedness and her recently acquired 61 years of age. She probably won't like my mentioning that, but I like to report the facts, just like my police hero, Sgt. Joe Friday, badge #713, Dragnet, you know, the show that gave me my catch phrase. "The City", when he and his partner intoned each week, "Just the facts ma'am, just the facts."

The got the day off to a rousing start, from which we never quite recovered. We came home, had lunch and then Sugar went out on her tether. I retired to the Weather Office/Music Studio, and played the girls and read the end of my latest novel. I tried watching the MSU football game on TV, but with four possible channels from which to choose, none had the game. They were all showing Ohio State vs. Indiana. I bet there were more than a few upset fans throughout West Michigan.

So that;s how the day progressed. I spent the evening in the media room after Mary and I played a Scrabble™ type dice game. It was fun, but it soon wore itself out. As I noted earlier, I retired to the media room, and Mary stayed downstairs and read what she has called a great book.

Tomorrow the day will open more quietly, I hope. I know what it's like to experience odd symptoms that you have never experienced before. Sugar and I may get out for the newspaper we didn't get today and I may have time to read it. I'll probably start a new non-fiction book and then play more with the girls. The Lions are on at 1:00 p.m., so I may devote some of my time to that non-energy expending activity after the intrepid weather dog and I return from our morning safari. That looks like a good activity roundup. Ciao.
