Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 7:45 a.m. in "This City." The sun rose on a beautiful sunny day here in the panhandle at 6:45 a.m. Later this evening the golden orb will retire at 5:02 p.m. In between, we are expecting a high of 59° and a 0% chance of precipitation. Tomorrow, the temperature is expected to reach a high of 62° with rain predicted in the afternoon.

Yesterday was a long grind. I slaved over a hot computer as I entered, and entered, and entered until I was done. In between, I got the task of reading small numbers on a page and circling them for future reference. Let's just say, that the task was useful, but mind numbing. According to Mary, she is nearly finished, just three to four more hours are needed before she does her final edit and then we have to create a printout for my edit. Here's hoping.

Once we are done, we have nothing of a business nature on the calendar until at least April. That should allow time for both the mundane pursuits of life and the exciting, punctuated by long walks with STWD, who by the by, seems to be feeling better. Only time will tell.

Speaking of the intrepid one, we'll walk again today, following nearly the same route we took yesterday. It should be a lot less windy and therefore, neither of us will feel as cold.

The day will unfold on more work, a trip across the bridge for that printout, and then final editing and a not so fond Bon-voyage to another index. I can't say I'll be sorry to see this one go.

Last night, we watched the crossover, two hour episodes of NCIS and NCIS New Orleans. Something about those two shows resonates with Mary and me, and apparently with more than a few folks we know.

By the time they were over, I was too, so I came up to bed and Mary stayed and watched some news programs. I am at a point where I don't watch much news anymore, because I am less than thrilled by most of what passes for news these days.

That looks like a pretty full day and night, so I'll be going now. Ciao.
