Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 4:00 a.m. in "This City." A current temperature of 40° will lead to a post sunrise high of 54°, or higher, as it did yesterday. In any case, the skies will be sunny here, In GH, the current temperature is 13° that will lead to a post sunrise high of 34° under partly cloudy skies. You do the math on that temperature difference. In addition, there is a prediction of a winter weather alert for Thursday in GH. Not so here, so I think I'll stay here for a while longer.

Yesterday, we were going to go to a movie, but by the time I was done doing some highlighting, and Mary and I had sat on the sunny deck watching Sugar the Weather Dog chew on her bone in "This Bone Zone", it was past time to go. So we went to the alternate favorite watering hole instead.

I did get in some time with Abaigeal, and that is always a good thing. I'm slowly finding the errors I introduced into the music I had transcribed previously. I"ll repair the errors when I get back to my office/music room. Otherwise, the interaction between myself and Abaigeal is going well.

During our morning walk with the intrepid weather dog, we picked up a local newspaper so that I could do the crossword. This paper uses the same puzzles as the Grand Haven Tribune, the ones from the N.Y. Times, so they are increasing in difficulty as the days progress.

Mary made a good stir fry for lunch, that was great.

Today I have no specific plans other than the laundry. I need to start another book, but when I tried yesterday on the deck, Mary had the radio on a political talk show. I can usually read around that kind of background noise, but something didn't let that happen.

So once the sun rises at 6:41 a.m., I'll get on with my day. Then when it sets at 5:21 p.m., I'll get on with my evening. In between, I'll get in some time with Abaigeal, watch some TV, and walk with Sugar, and do that laundry.  Ciao.
