Good mornig or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:00 p.m. in "The City."

We have a current temperature here on the shores of the "Big Lake" of 33°, that feels like 22° with a 19 mph wind blowing out of the north. That wind is part of the Gale Warning that remains in effect until 1:00 a.m. tomorrow. Winds will blow @ 25 to 35 knots and waves will crash with heights of 7 - 12 feet from St. Joseph to Manistee, with the tallest waves towards St. Joseph and near Little Sable and Big Sable Points. 

Tonight's low will drop to 32° and tomorrow's high will reach 40° under partly-cloudy skies. Tomorrow, the sun will rise @ 7:56 a.m. and set later @ 5 :11 p.m.

Last night, I watched only a small portion of the Bears game, then I had other plans. Ultimately, the 5 - 6 Bears were defeated by the 8 - 3 Packers, 25 - 41. 

Late last night, I finished my John Grisham novel A Time For Mercy, and I was satisfied with both the entire story and and the ending. I have selected my next book, Lisa Gardner's Never Tell, in my preferred large-print format. 

Today, I found myself in the man-cave, where I used my new hand saw to make some modifications to an older project and also to craft some new outdoor Christmas decorations. I had to solicit Mary's knitting assistance to complete one of the decorations. She'll be working on that while she watches TV news downstairs. With her needle skills, it should not take too long. 

I never got outside for the balance of my decorating, as the winds were just too strong. While I was in the man-cave, Mary put our dinner in the Crockpot™. Rice, mixed vegetables and soy curls combined to make a great dinner.

Tomorrow, I hope to get the balance of my outdoor decorating done and also spread the mulch on the fur-children's play area. We may also get them out there on their tethers to enjoy the outdoors and a dental treat. STWD will savor hers, whilst Ginger will practically inhale hers. Plus, since it will be December 1, they both are scheduled for their monthly medications and Ginger is due for her every 90 day medication too. 

Otherwise, I hope to get to more music, more reading, more man-cave activities, the Tuesday edition of the indoor chores, etc. Mary as scheduled a pick up at the Fast Lane™ grocery pick up too. Ciao.
