Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. We've just passed 3:00 a.m. in "The City." Whoa, now I'm talking in the third person. I guess that's better than Yoda Speak.

We had a great anniversary yesterday. For breakfast, Mary made her world famous sauerkraut and Swiss cheese sandwiches on sourdough bread. I always like those, and these I think were even better, because she had purchased what she and I consider the best sauerkraut made by the hands of man, Bubbies™. However without Mary, it would just be another sauerkraut, in my humble opinion.

But I digress. The weather yesterday was hot and humid here in West Michigan. By the time I got back from the morning walk with STWD, watered the gardens on the PE, and harvested some beans from the garden and tomatoes from our not so cold frame, I was ready to stay indoors, so I did.

Mary did go out in the early afternoon and learned what I had learned earlier, she didn't want to go out again. Actually we did venture forth in the late afternoon for our anniversary dinner at JWs. We split a terrific vegetable burrito. Like nearly every restaurant in GH, they have a unique version of a burrito. I guess that unless you are a specialty restaurant, you must sell a burrito of some type. JWs' is excellent.

Speaking of the weather, today the temperature will once again be hot and the humidity high, 84° and 84% respectively. There is a possibility of precipitation tomorrow. Also once again, I'll be staying indoors. I have to get a book from the library before it goes back, so I'll have to drop off the intrepid weather dog and go back out.

In sports, the boys in blue edged out the Dodgers, 5 - 4. The Tigers also edged out their opponent, the Royals, 6 - 5. My beloved Red Sox fell to the Yankees, 1 - 3. The Caps pounded the Great Lakes Loons, 10 - 0.

Otherwise, things were quiet as I worked on some music, read the newspaper, and worked the crossword. Mary chatted with her indexing group and worked on my valances.

Today, after that morning safari with STWD and the book pick up at the library, I have to put on my highlighting hat and go to work for Mary once again. This next book is nearly 500 pages as I understand it. I hear there is another similar length book due in a few days. Sigh. My personal reading will have to be delayed, and I have so many books yet to be read.

Speaking of Mary, here is a link to her personal, once every few months or so, blog.

If you go there, you can see some pictures she took on her sojourn to the Great White North. I think the place and the nearby towns look great, but I was happy staying home.

The sun will rise in a few hours at 7:10 a.m. and set this evening at 8:18 p.m.

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Ciao.
