Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:00 a.m. in "The City" The current temperature of 34° under fair skies is also our overnight low as we head towards today's high temperature of 53°, which is 13° warmer than yesterday. The skies should be partly sunny today. Or, is that partly cloudy? In addition, it feels more like 28° with winds out of the east at eight mph. 

Tonight we'll drop to an overnight low temperature of 42°. The sun will rise shortly @ 6:42 a.m. and set later tonight @ 8:42 p.m.

Good news, tomorrow's high temperature is forecast by the NWS to reach 62° under cloudy skies in the morning giving way to sunny skies in the afternoon. 

Otherwise, there is a bit of good news on the baseball front, as the now 8 - 10 Cubs took 10 innings and a prodigious homerun by Patrick Wisdom to drop the 8 - 11 Braves, 6 - 3, as relief pitcher David Robertson got the win. Tonights game in Atlanta begins @ 7:20 p.m. EDT. LHP Wade Smyly, 1 - 1, takes the mound for the Cubs.

My beloved 8 - 11 Red Sox welcomed manager Alex Cora back to the dugout with a solid win over the 12 - 7 Bluejays, by a final score of 7 - 1, as RHP Michael Wacha notched his second win against no losses. Today's game begins in Toronto against the Jays @ 3:07 p.m. EDT as RHP Garrett Whitlock, 1 - 1, hurls for the beloved.

The 6 - 11 Tigers couldn't right their ship, as starting and losing LHP Michael Pineda, 1 - 1, proved ineffective as the Tigers' bats fell asleep versus RHP Twins starter Joe Ryan, 3 - 1, who surrendered only two hits as the Tigers fell to the 10 - 8 Twins, 0 - 5. Today's game begins @ 1:10 p.m. as 1 - 1 LHP Tarik skubal pitches for the Tigers.

The 7 - 10 Caps were once again ambushed by the also 7 - 10 Great Lakes Loons, 1 - 5. Tonights game begins @ 6:35 p.m.

Yesterday was a slow day here at the manse. Indoor chores, ear reading, crossword puzzle solving and retirement. 

Today, we have even less on our agenda. Ciao.
