Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:15 p.m. in "The City", where the current temperature is a brisk 29°, but it feels more like 17° with a wind out of the northwest @ 15 mph. That wind is the remnants of the Gale Warning that was in effect until it was superseded by a Small Craft Advisory from St. Joseph to Manistee until 2:00 a.m. Monday. Wind speeds of 15 to 25 knots with gusts up to 30 knots may produce waves as high as nine feet in height. 

Our current barometric pressure per my DTWS is 29.36" of Hg and falling, while the NWS is reporting 29.95" of Hg and rising. 

Our overnight low is forecast to drop to 24° with tomorrow's high temperature only rising to 26° before another very chilly overnight low temperature of 21°. It looks as though winter will be hanging at least through late next week. The sun will rise tomorrow @ 7:37 a.m. and set later @ 8:04 p.m.

We had a great homemade pizza for dinner last night. I prevailed upon Mary to make her world-famous crust and then I chopped and sliced the various toppings which Mary piled on to make this delicious pizza!

We say this all the time, but we think this was our best effort to date!

I had chopped so many olives, mushrooms, green peppers, and vegan sausage Friday night, that the remainder became part of our brunch salad earlier today.

For dinner, Mary made homemade oven-baked garlic French fries to accompany one of my many favorites, vegan hot dog wraps. All in all, our meals were just perfect.

I finished one novel late last night and started another today following the reading of two newspapers and working their accompanying crossword puzzles, while Mary spent time with her ear reading and cross-stitching.

What can I say, when you are retired, you have plenty of time to do as little or as you like. Of course, I'd prefer to be outdoors, but my old bones are less willing to be outdoors when the temperature is below 40° or over 70°. 

Tomorrow, we have no specific plans except for music, painting, reading, cross-stitching, and whatever appeals to us at the time. Ciao.
