Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 5:00 a.m. in "The City." Our current view outside the WW is a snowy vista with a temperature of 29°, which is the forecast overnight low. Today's high is forecast to be 38°. That snow is part of a forecast delivered by our favorite weatherman, Kyle Underwood, of WOOD TV and radio, and directly observed by our own personal observation.. Given that the temperatures on Wednesday forecast to be 49° under mostly sunny skies, those outdoor chores I had planned for Tuesday, will likely wait until Wednesday. The snow should be melted and that will make the chores more easily accomplished.

Yesterday, I finished a novel, highlighted, and walked with STWD. In addition, I got the privilege of washing the dishes from the day before, a fair division of duties since I enjoyed the meals from the night before.

We did make it to the matinee performance of Jekyll and Hyde, the musical, that was performed by a cast of actors and musicians at Grand Haven High School yesterday. We had not been to GHHS nor the Performing Arts Center there previously, and to say that the facility was outstanding would not do it justice. Wow!, best sums it up.

That same accolade applies to the performance itself. Mary and I have seen performances by professional casts at many levels that were not as good. The actors, especially the young man who played the parts of Jekyll and Hyde, and the young women who played the parts of Jekyll's fiancee and his other lady friend were superb. The musicians in the orchestra, and the crew for scenery and other activities were also terrific. Once again, WOW!

One final word on the actor who portrayed Jekyll and Hyde. His ability to switch back and forth between characters for the final scene was nothing short of fabulous. According to a recent story in our local newspaper, The Grand Haven Tribune, the young man who played those parts began his
training for the role last spring. It showed. This final matinee performance was not the last, as the cast and crew will be taking this show to the Michigan Thespian Festival at Saginaw Valley State University on Dec. 4.

I'll be taking the morning walk with the intrepid weather dog while wearing my winter boots, as the snow will be melting and that will cause slippery conditions on both streets and sidewalks. Mary will be hard at work finishing the current index as I walk and then I'll have it on my desk for editing before our final collective edit prior to submission.

Later today, we'll be shopping for our Thanksgiving repast supplies, as well as traveling to the big box home center for a few things that I want. 

That looks like enough for one day. The sun will rise at 7:46 a.m. and set at 5:14 P.M. Ciao.
