Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 4:00 a.m. in "The City."

Yesterday was interesting. I set up our new radio and hopefully it works as planned. Only time will tell. I played with the girls, but the fact that I've been focused on Leilani lately has made me get rusty when playing the other girls. A good reason to play more, not less, don't you think?

No trains on Tuesday, maybe one come today.

Had some good meals yesterday. Mary and I walked STWD in the morning. Mary had spent some time in her kitchen on Tuesday evening and crafted a roast beast in the crock pot. Dinner last night was based on my suggestion for spaghetti ala oglio, that's spaghetti with olive oil. However, in the interest of conservation, Mary used whole wheat linguine noodles mixed with garlic, olive oil, and spinach. I liked it, as I always do. As an aside, my famous banana nut bread tastes as great as ever. We had that with "ham" for breakfast.

We also worked collectively on the index that is due today. I did some reading and never got to my chores. Oh well, the beauty of being retired is that most things can and often do wait for another day. I used to work for a man, Bob, at Triangle Mobil, and one of his favorite sayings was, "Put off til tomorrow what you can out off til tomorrow." I like his idea.

Today, I'll take the morning safari with the intrepid one before the weather goes bad in the afternoon as Mary works on the index. When I return, I'll assist Mary with the index so that we can get it out on time.

We should be able to get to hanging those pictures later today or early tomorrow. Mary does have an appointment at the chiropractor this afternoon. It seems to be working for her. If all goes well, she should be able to make the short walk to the office and back without incident.

Speaking of the weather, we have a current temperature of 41° that feels like 36°. Later today, that winter storm watch is still in effect with a forecast for a high temperature of 42°,  with rainy/windy conditions and showers beginning in the afternoon and then becoming steady in the evening. Thursday still has the rain/snow in the forecast. Somewhere in there, we may get 1/4 inch of rain and winds that may gust to 40 mph. This being the NWS, I will take a wait and see attitude.

The sun will rise at 7:43 a.m. and set at 8:01 p.m. Ciao.
