Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 2:30 a.m. in "This City." A current temperature of 33° looks like that's about as low as it will get this morning. It does feel like 25° due to the wind chill. We hope to rebound to a high later today of 53° under cloudy skies. Tomorrow, we'll reach 57°, with a 70% chance of rain. We'll have to wait until Saturday before we get back to the 60s. In GH, the current temperature is 19°, but it feels like 4°. Tomorrow, they may receive another one inch of the white stuff. They will will have to wait until Friday to reach the 30° mark.

Yesterday, Mary worked, I did the laundry, and swept the house. When you stay in one place too long, you end up having to so a little house cleaning. Even here, my work is never done. I also unloaded the dishwasher twice following our Super Bowl™ party. As I noted previously, most every dish and piece of silverware we had put aside for our use was dirtied. Otherwise, I did get in some time with Abaigeal after I highlighted more for my boss. She was working too, so I guess that I can't complain. Then it was time to watch some TV and work the crosswords. Sugar the Weather Dog, of course, got that abbreviated walk in the morning that I had predicted. With the way the wind was blowing, we just didn't have it in us to go further. Mary did take the intrepid one for an afternoon safari, but that too was abbreviated.

We traveled to the local favorite watering hole and had a Po Boy sandwich and fries, This osandwich consisted of fried green tomatoes and sauteed vegetables and it was delicious, almost as good as what Mary makes. (How's that for sucking up?). Actually, Mary does a better sandwich when she has the time and the appropriate ingredients on hand. That is one advantage that a restaurant has. Then it was time for home, some additional TV viewing while Mary knitted and I vegged, and then my bedtime.

Today, I have to wash Sugar's bed clothes, but that's pretty much of a removal, wash, dry, and reinstall, No special attention required. More playing with Abaigeal and TV viewing after another abbreviated morning walk with Sugar. I'll read the local newspapers and that looks like another complete day.

The sun will rise later this morning at 6:37 a.m. and set at 5:26 p.m.

Stephany, our condolences on the passing of your grandfather. Our love and prayers are with you.

Ciao.
