Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just before 2:30 a.m. in "The City."

The current temperature is 24° under mostly-cloudy skies. Today's high is forecast to reach 30°. The sun will rise today @ 8:10 a.m. and set later @ 5:42 p.m.


Not much was happening yesterday. I installed a bathroom fixture, well actually, a TP holder and that was about it. I did some additional reading in my latest novel in the Woman's Murder Club by James Patterson and his collaborator, Maxine Paetro. So far, I have not worn out my liking of this series.


We ran some errands too. The fur-children needed a fresh supply of dental chunk food and we made a stop at the grocery store and that nearby big-box home center too.


We spent a few minutes on the phone with Adam, fresh off the trip that he and Stephany took last week. Not much to report there except that it was warmer and sunnier in Puerto Rico. Surprise!


Our snow-removal service returned to finish the shared driveway. They had to bring a small front-end loader, commonly called a Bobcat™. The use of that machine was made necessary by the frozen nature of the snow due to the rains that fell right after the snow. That little tractor made short work of the icy buildup.


Today, I have a few hairs to be cut at noon. Otherwise, I don't have any plans that are worthy of note. Mary has some plans in the kitchen. 


Don't forget, we are just 21 short days away from the pitchers and catchers reporting to Florida and Arizona for the beginning of spring. Yes, I know that the start of spring is actually March 19, but for me, spring begins when there are young men playing baseball in the sunshine.


So, that looks like enough for one day. Ciao.
