Anther day will soon be dawning in "The City." It is currently 2:30 a.m., as we head for sunrise at 6:58 a.m. The forecast for today? Outstanding! 71 mostly sunny degrees. Tomorrow afternoon will yield a high of 62° with rain in the afternoon. Earth Day on Saturday will be a success in Central Park and all over the Tri-Cties area. After I have played with the Irish Jam session, I'll drop Abby off at home and then go back to Central Park to hear the music and take some pictures.

STWD and I will be alone today. Mary is off to her Yarn-Con in Chicago.I hope she gets out ahead of the rain on Sunday afternoon. Somehow, STWD and I will get by. We had a trial run yesterday, as it was Forage Friday. Speaking of STWD, she and I will take a nice walk later this morning. With the sun shining and the cloud cover at a minimum, we should have a great time. Mary will be driving to her Yarn-Con activities, so she will not. Oh well, we all have our burdens to bear.

Before I leave for the Irish Jam, I plan to get my dinner ready. With Mary away, I get to have small pasta shells and Tater Tots™ for two of my meals. If she were here, that wouldn't be happening. Shhh, don't tell Mary.

Yesterday, I spent some time in the man-cave preparing that school desk that we received from Steph and Adam. All I have left to do, is to oil the wooden parts and then reassemble. I also finished reassembling the old door that Mary will be using as a decorator item. A little work with a small wood plane and a touch of adjustment with a hammer, and it went back together.

Other than walking with STWD, my cooking, the Irish Jam, the Earth Day activities, and more reading, I have nothing on tap for today. Phew, just thinking about it wears me out.

In sports, the boys in blue fell to the Padres, 4 - 5. That dropped them into second place. The Tigers defeated that other team from Chicago, 2 - 1, to remain in first place. My beloved Red Sox also won, 3 - 2, over the Orioles. Like the Tigers, they too remain in first place. The Caps fell to the Lake County Captains, 3 - 4, to remain mired in the nether regions of their division. Not last, but certainly not first.

That looks like enough for one day. The sun will set at 8:30 p.m. Ciao.
