Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be. It is just past 1:00 a.m. in "The City."

I will attempt to keep this one short. Note I said, attempt, but that is subject to change without notice.

We have a current temperature of 37° under clear skies. We actually saw several high-temperature records shattered yesterday, with one location reporting 69°! Here in GH, on the shores of the "Big Lake", the temperatures didn't get out of the 50s, but it was still a very pleasant day. We anticipate a high today of 51 sunny degrees with a 60° day to follow on Monday. We'll have temperatures in the 50s most of the week until we drop down for few days next weekend.

We walked downtown with the fur-children for a loaf of bread yesterday morning so that Mary could make a modified version of her famous sauerkraut and Swiss cheese sandwiches for lunch. In this case, she also added some thin slices of her extraordinary beest, accompanied by her homemade thousand island dressing and mustard. They were a very tasty and able replacement for the traditional Reuben sandwiches.

I walked to my Irish Jam session yesterday using my backpack guitar case to make the load more bearable. That made the walk much easier. We had a small crowd of listeners and a limited number of players, but we sounded good and received accolades from the appreciative audience.

Mary picked me up from the jam and then we traveled to Spring Lake to go to Field's Fabrics and Stans. A stop @ the take and bake pizza purveyor on the way home, and we were in for the night. We watched just enough of the news from Florida to convince me to go upstairs to the media room to watch TV. I got tired and so I was off to bed while Mary watched apocalyptic movies downstairs.

Today, a few indoor chores, some indexing for Mary and reading for me. That looks like a full day. Monday, I am off to my internist for my "Welcome to Medicare" exam and then I have an appointment at the chiropractor on Tuesday for a follow up on my yak. I'm feeling much better, but I still want to keep that appointment and then see where I go from there. I am also being sure to follow the doctor's directions regarding posture, bending, and lifting.

The sun will rise today @ 7:36 a.m. into those sunny skies and then set later @ 6:21 p.m. I nearly forgot, we are just one week away from spring training games. Yes! Ciao.
