Good morning GH. It is just passing 10:00 a.m. in "The City." A recent missive from one of my many loyal readers regarding my last blog, has prompted me to do a better job.

Yesterday, STWD and I took the morning stroll as Mary went off to get her copies made. While she wanted to get them at the ususal location downtown, she ended up at the big-box office supply store. The place downtown is unable to make any copies from a flash drive at this time. I wouldn't let her make them at home, because our toner is already low, and the printer would have been left with its tongue hanging out after nearly 900 copies. Which reminds me, Id better order more toner for a delivery early next week.

The day was a bit cool, but at springtime in West MI, that's not all that unusual. Even the bears that were spotted near Coopersville are not all that unusual. Spring in W. MI, along the shores of the "Big Lake," is like that. It could be worse, as we could be in the "Sun Belt" which is not all that sunny right now. It has been plenty warm there, but that has led to violent storms, large hail, and tornado activity. Like Michael McCloud of Key West, said in the lyrics of one of his songs, "Oh what the heck, I think I'll just stay right here."

Today, I have to continue highlighting the book for Mary. I'm up to page 325 out of over 1,000, which is just under 33%. I like to round off because it makes me feel better about my progress.

It looks like our IT guru did her magic with my computer. It seems to be working fine now, but I think in the skirmish, this computer tried to get the best of her. It looks like she won.

So today is more highlighting after breakfast and a morning walk with STWD. I have so many other books I want to read waiting on the shelf, but there are priorities.

In sports, the boys in blue won, 7 - 3 over the Reds. The Tigers took it on the chin, 1 -13 as they fell to the Indians. My beloved Red Sox, nipped the Orioles 7 - 5, and the Caps lost to the Dragons of Dayton, 5 - 8. In order of appearance, the boys are in second place in their division, with a record of 9 - 7. The Tigers have fallen into second place, with a record of 11 - 6. My beloved Red Sox are still in first place, with a record of 10 - 7. The Caps, mid pack.

The sun already rose on what looks like a mostly cloudy day with a 40% chance of rain. The temperature is expected to reach about 58° before the sun sets at 8:38 p.m.

I hope this blog is more satisfactory to my loyal cadre of regular readers. Ciao.
