Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. I hope to get this blog finished in record time. It is just passing 3:00 a. m. in "The City", where outside the WW, the current temperature is 60°, the overnight low. Today, after the sun rises at 6:04 a.m. and long before it sets at 9:26 p.m., the high is expected to get to 77° under mostly sunny skies. No rain is forecast until tomorrow. Once again, I"ll rely on STWD.

No trainspotting today/tonight.

Mary and I did walk to the salad bar at the hospital. We know it seems odd, but it is a good destination that is about two miles round trip and the salad bar is very reasonable. STWD got in a morning walk before we left. In between, Mary went to the local independent book seller and found a couple of books that should be both useful and interesting.

We returned and I got down to doing my outdoor chores. I still have a few to accomplish, but they are  of the light variety. I did that while Mary worked at her desk. I don't know if she participated in her twice weekly chat session, as I forgot to ask.

Once I was done for the afternoon, Sugar and I retired to the "Bone Zone" and she chewed while I did crosswords and more reading. I had already played with the girls in the early morning hours, they called to me. Oops, another song lyric snuck in there. My thanks to John Henry Deutschendorf Jr., you know him better as Johns Denver, for his efforts on Take Me Home Country Roads. . Sadly, he has been gone for nearly 10 years.

Oops, in my zealous rush to get done quickly, I almost forgot to update the sports report. The boys in blue fell to the Indians 0 - 6. The Tigers also lost 2 -  5 to the Reds. My beloved Red Sox actually won over the braves, 9 - 4. That makes it one n a row. It is worthy of note that the Sox had a player, Brock Holt, hit for the cycle. For those who don't know, that's a single, a double, a triple, and ahome run in the same game.The Caps are unknown at this time due to site maintenance. The Warriors are the new NBA champs. Their first in 40 years as they won over the Caves, 102 - 97. I guess that LeBron wasn't enough to put the Cavs over the top. How many more next years does he have?

Today, a few outdoor chores after a morning walk with STWD, and then more interplay with the girls. That should be a full day as Mary works indoors.

Ciao.
