Good morning PB. It is just past 7:30 a.m. in "This City." The day dawned at 6:44 a.m. as sunny skies took over from the darkness of the night. Today's high is expected to be 64°, but after the beautiful day yesterday exceeded expectations, we may do better. In fact, tomorrow is expected to be near 70°. Contrast that with GH where today's high will be 31° under cloudy skies.

Yesterday we didn't do much. We took the morning walk with Sugar the Weather Dog and then returned to our "home." Before we left, Mary tried out the beginnings of a new recipe for an omelette replacement that uses chick pea flour. The recipe calls for the batter to rest for about one hour and then you add the balance of the ingredients and cook them up. I liked it. While not an egg omelette, the result was very tasty and the consistency was just fine. I added a bit more spice to the final presentation, but I'd do that with almost anything.

Then we settled in to watch the NFL playoffs. No need for a spoiler alert, The Packers didn't get jobbed by the zebras, they jobbed themselves with stupid penalties, botched efforts in the "Red Zone" and an inability to take advantage of mistakes by the Seahawks, finally losing in overtime, 22 - 28 .

We also watched a short part of the Patriots demolition of the Colts. The Colts were never in the game and the Patriots will likely defeat the Seahawks on February 1. The Patriots convincingly defeated the Colts yesterday, 45 - 7.

With a little help from Mary, we had sliced veggies and chips and salsa with our viewing. As lazy as I can be sometimes, I'd have just had chips and salsa and pretzels, with the salsa probably never leaving the jar except when it was on a chip. Instead, we had sliced bell peppers, olives, pickles, and cheese and crackers.

Today, the requisite morning walk with the intrepid weather dog will occur and then some time with Abaigael will be on my agenda. Since the weather here will be so inviting this week, we may visit some national parks/forts that are nearby, along with the aviation museum that is at the Pensacola Naval Air Station. When we were here a few years ago, I wasn't able to walk for any distance and so my solo visit to the museum was less than memorable. Now that I am more ambulatory, it should be much more interesting.

Other than that, we have no plans for a few days. Mary has some work coming in, but that is not until later this month. Ciao.
