Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. I hadn't planned to be up at 2:00 a.m. in "The City", but that's how things go sometimes.

The boys in blue had to take their time to get a win, but they did, winning 2 - 1 over the Reds. They are now seven games over .500 for the first time this season. However, they still find themselves in third place in the Central Division of the National League. The Tigers also won, beating the Indians, 8 - 1. My beloved Red Sox fell to the still surging Blue Jays, 5 - 13. The Caps also lost, 1 - 6, to the Burlington, IA Bees.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 104 - 91. They need to win only one of two remaining games to grab the NBA title. The B'hawks play again tonight against Tampa Bay. One more win and Lord Stanley's cup is theirs.

I didn't feel like going out earlier yesterday, so I stayed in while restless Mary went out solo. Her comment was that the conditions on the waterfront were less than ideal. Too much fog, too much humidity. We did go out later, and by then the humidity had dropped and the temperatures were comfortable. However, the fog was rolling in.

Today I have nothing special to do. Some basic indoor and outdoor chores, including cooking some soup, and that's about it. I get to use the kale that we grew in the gardens of the PE. Our gardens are responding nicely to the warming temperatures and the Goldilocks like precipitation, that appears to be just right.

I am still working on my highlighting for Mary's latest index. I just learned yesterday that another book is due in soon. I was probably told before, but I likely blocked the information in an attempt to avoid more work.

The weather in GH is muggy right now, with a current temperature of 63° and foggy skies. Later today, we will have a high of 74° and a 40% chance of T-storms in the afternoon. That's according to the National Weather Service, not the more reliable STWD. Her track record is much better than the weather service when it comes to T-storms.

The sun will rise at 6:04 a.m. and set at 9:26 p.m. No hurricanes are forecast for our area. Ciao.
