Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 2:30 a.m. in "The City", where the current temperature under clears skies is a very seasonal 54°, although it feels more like 52°, with a slight wind out of the east @ six mph. The sun will rise in a few hours @ 7:05 a.m. and set later @ 8:26 p.m.

In between, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Alert for the counties of Allegan, Kent, Oceana, Ottawa, and Van Buren effective today, due to elevated and unhealthy amounts of ozone in the atmosphere. That means that for children and other living things, outdoor activities should be limited or curtailed and ozone causing activities should be avoided. Yikes!

Here at the manse of the palatial estate, we had another of those bathtub cutouts installed yesterday in our upstairs bathroom. The one downstairs was so great, that a second seemed in order for when we move back upstairs when my knee rehab is done. Two to three weeks, I hope.

In addition, Mary and I finished our latest collective ear-read The Other Mrs. Miller, and she finished her own ear-read too. I tossed aside a novel I was reading, but which became tedious, in favor of a book that is the second in a series that piqued my interest after reading the first. While we were outside on our deck enjoying the late afternoon warm temperatures, I finished three crosswords and the daily crypto quote. Of course, Ginger was there too, after taking a walk earlier in the day with Mary.

Somewhere in there, we finished the indoor chores and watched our usual evening fare, before I retired with Ginger to watch another Hallmark Chanel™ Rom-Com. I slipped in and out of consciousness, but that's okay, as I anticipated the ending. 

Today, we have an early P/T appointment and that's about it. I have to keep on keeping on, so to speak. 

We anticipate good weather now that April is well underway, with the exception of Sunday and Monday, when rain and cooler temperatures set in before we return to more spring-like weather. No new pix, sorry. Ciao.
