Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 4:30 a.m. in "The City", where the current temperature is only 14° and the "Real Feel" temperature is a mere 5° with a slight wind out of the southwest @ 5 mph.

The NWS has continued that Small Craft Advisory until 9:00 a.m. this morning, from St. Joseph to Manistee, with winds of 10 to 20 knots and waves of 3 to 5 feet in height. The sunrise today will be @ 8:01 a.m. and sun set @ 5:55 p.m.

Lest you think I'd forgotten that "Baseball is Life!", pitchers and catchers begin to report to FL and AZ, for pitchers and catchers on February 15, and February 20 for all position players for the Red Sox, the Tigers, and the Cubs. Yes, my friends, I'll be born again, there will be new grass on the field. Remember this tune? I sure do! Centerfield

I had another P/T session yesterday, with progress measurements taken for my orthopedist appointment today. I am now at 119° of bend for my left knee, and I can nearly flatten that same knee out completely.

Is my knee still weak? Of course, but as compared to six weeks ago, I am in heaven.

We have resumed ear-reading that book from a couple of weeks ago regarding the witches of Springfield, MA. We ran out of time during our last checkout, but it has now returned to Mary's Libby library account.

Mary is continuing her cross-stitch project, adding another to her "Work", and she has started another ear-read of her own.

I've started a new print read by James Patterson.

So, with the current cold conditions, other than that orthopedist appointment, I have no plans to go outside. It is likely that I am just suffering from the blahs that come with my post-surgical life. As I said earlier, I know that I'll be born again when baseball returns, like springtime and Persephone. 

Ginger is still my Hallmark Channel bed buddy. Last night, we watched another great movie.

That looks like enough for this blog. Ciao.
