Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 3:30 a.m. in "This City."

We show a current temperature of 49° that feels like 44°. The NWS has forecast a high for today of 55° under sunny skies with windy conditions. Similar conditions are forecast for tomorrow, with the high reaching no more than 47°.

The sun is set to rise at 6:36 a.m. and set at 5:31 p.m. That's all I have to say about that.

We traveled to Pensacola yesterday to attend that performance of Quilters: A Frontier Musical, at the Pensacola Little Theater. It was terrific. The performers were spirited, the sets were minimalist, which is great from the perspective of this retired set construction director. The story was moving and according to Mary, a great herstorical perspective.

We we're fortunate to escape "The Beach" as the annual Mardis Gras Parade was shaping up. Traffic was already becoming a nightmare and STWD was not dealing well with the large number of people who were invading her world. We were not heer when the pirate ship floats set off their cannons, so we didn't see her in her panicked state.

We made it back home in time for one of the sorriest Super Bowls in my memory. The game was a defensive rout by the Broncos. Cam Newton was chased all over the field, and the final score was the result of the tenacious #1 defense of the Broncos. Peyton Manning turned in a workmanlike performance in what is likely to have been his final game in the NFL. However, according to pundits, that is not for certain.

The highlight was the food spread that Mary prepared for our viewing pleasure. Chopped veggies and dip were followed by Buffalo cauliflower sandwiches. They tasted super.

The commercials, often a highlight of a lame Super Bowl, were not very exciting and in fact there were comments on social media regarding how lame they were. At five million dollars per minute, creativity should be paramount. It wasn't.

Today we are returning to Pensacola in the afternoon to pick up the new photos for our home decor in GH. On the way back to our "Beach Home", we'll stop and get some roses for Valentine's Day.

That looks like enough for today. We have time to do as little as possible this afternoon. Mary has her new knitting needles and her current project. Plus, she is still working on her on-line writing lessons that are looking great from my perspective. I have Winnie, and a book to finish along with reading today's newspaper. Ciao.
