Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 4:00 a.m. in "The City." The desktop weather station and the NWS finally agree this morning on a temperature of 44°. We are heading for today's high of 50° under cloudy skies with only a 20% chance of precipitation. Tomorrow, the temperature will rise to 56°, but along with that, comes a 50% chance of showers.

Yesterday was a day of relaxation. STWD and I took the morning walk while Mary parted ways and made her way to the Bookman for a copy of the NY Times. I joined her in reading part of the time, in between adding more pieces to my jigsaw puzzle, working in the man-cave, playing with the girls,.and petting the needy weather dog. What a great day. We did travel to our favorite watering hole for dinner.

Sports was a mixed bag. The boys in blue lost 3 - 8 to the D'Backs. My beloved Red Sox eked out a win over the Orioles, 8 - 7. Finally, the Tigers pounded the Marlins 9 - 2 on the strength of four RBIs from Ian Kinsler leading off, coupled with strong pitching.

Today, we'll walk with the intrepid one, travel to Holland, and then return home for some batch cooking. Well, Mary will be batch cooking while I am placing puzzle pieces and reading more of the NY Times and reading more The Last Open Road. Mary has been expecting a new indexing project to come in, but it has not arrived as of this writing.

Otherwise, not much is happening. We don't need more to do. The sun will rise at 7:11 a.m. and set at 6:43 p.m. Ciao.
