Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:30 a.m. in "The City."

I'm going to attempt to once again follow the KISS formula. Things were mostly quiet around here and so there isn't much to highlight.

We got up late and then had a terrific lunch of vegan BLT sandwiches. I'd found a recipe for vegan seitan bacon that Mary modified. The texture of the vegan bacon was great, the aroma and flavor were superb, and with a surprisingly tasty winter tomato, the sandwiches were excellent. I pronounce this vegan bacon and these sandwiches a keeper.

After lunch, we traveled to that big-box nearly everything store to buy some groceries. That visit went surprisingly well and we were in and out without too much difficulty. We got back in time for Mary to make her haircut appointment and then we met at JWs for adult libations.

Our dinner was another of Mary's homemade pizzas topped with portabello mushroom, spicy tvp, and vegan cheese.

My shoulder is wearing on my stamina, so I went upstairs and fell asleep in my La-Z-Boy after dinner. I attempted to watch a car show, but I kept falling asleep. I am in the process of reading a book by James Baldwin entitled If Beale Street Could Talk. I like the way that Baldwin was able to bring his characters to life. Baldwin is probably best known for his novel, Native Son.

Otherwise, there was no newspaper yesterday, so no crossword puzzle.

We have a current temperature of 37° that feels like 27° due to the 17 mph winds. Today's high will be four degrees lower after the sun rises @ 8:01 a.m. and before it sets @ 5:09 p.m. Ciao.
