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

I really am going to follow the KISS formula in this edition of my blog

We have a current temperature of 67° under cloudy/rainy skies. Today's forecast from the NWS calls for a high temperature of 74° with showers in the a.m. The sun will rise @ 7:14 a.m. and set later @ 8:10 p.m. STWD spent a lot of time in her hide-e hole last evening due to the very, very, severe T-storms and high winds that lashed the area between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. 

 

When Mary and I returned from our book club and JWs, I tried to coax Sugar out of the downstairs bathroom, but instead, I had to wait in there with her while she ate her dinner. I feel so sorry for her as she is not getting better with age. At least she was able to go to The Bookman with me earlier in the day where she got a doggie treat from Scott there. She is beginning to trust him more each day.

Ginger and Mary took a walk downtown while I was at my final P/ T appointment. I have been released with some exercises to keep my shoulder strong. 

Mary and I had a good book club meeting and my vegan blueberry muffins were a hit there and later at JWs with the staff. I received accolades on my baking.

All of my baseball teams won yesterday. The 1st place Cubs defeated the 2nd place Brewers, 6 - 4. and the Cubs now have a four game lead over the Brewers. The Cubs are off to D.C. to play the 69 - 71, 3rd in the NL East Nationals tonight @ 6:15 p.m.

My beloved 1st place in the AL East Red Sox, have a nine game lead over the 2nd place Yankees following the Sox' 9 - 8 comeback win over the 79 - 62, 1st place in the NL East Braves. The Sox are home tonight in Fenway to face the 87 - 53, 1st place in the AL West Astros @ 7:10 p.m.

The Tigers are still playing AAA level baseball disguised as a major league team, as their disappointing season winds down. The Tigers thumped that other team from Chicago yesterday, 10 - 2. The Tigers host the 3rd place in the NL Central Cardinals tonight @ 7:10 p.m.

 

The Caps won their first game in the MWL East playoffs over the Loons, 6 - 0. Game two is tonight @ 7:05 p.m.

Today should be a relatively quiet day. We have no plans other than some kitchen activities and maybe a walk with the fur-children once the rain ends. Ciao.
