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

Who knew? There is actually a one-hit wonder station on iHeart Radio. After listening for a short time, I know why most of these artists had only one hit. It is a no wonder to me, pun intended. I lasted through two songs and switched to the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band.

At any rate, in order to keep this short, I will mention that we have a current temperature of 25° under clear skies. The NWS is forecasting an overnight low of 16°! Later today, after the sun rises @ 7:46 a.m. and before it sets @ 6:12 p.m., the high temperature will only return to 23°. That's okay, as we will see warmer temperatures as February rolls along and maybe, just maybe. some of this snow will begin to melt away.

I made some vegan sausages earlier yesterday and we had some for dinner accompanied by Tater Tots™. Mostly I sat around and read a novel that I finished about one-hour ago. It was entitled The Rooster Bar, by John Grisham. Naturally, it was a legal-themed book. I read this one in the large-print format.

I have an appointment at the yak doctor in Muskegon later today to discuss my options for relief of my baking yak. I know there are only a few, but I hope to learn that the option that the doctor recommends will be the least invasive and require the least recovery time. Fingers crossed.

I got to thinking earlier that age may be just a number, but it comes with its own infirmities. I had to watch as Mary shoveled the snow off of the deck and part of the driveway. Our neighbor, Ron, helped out by clearing part of the driveway with his snowblower. He had some help from our neighbor who shares the driveway. I feel helpless, but I can't risk any further damage to my yak.

By the by, one more day until pitchers and catchers report. Then spring will have sprung. I can't wait to hear the crack of the bat and hear the pounding of baseballs into the pockets of gloves. One of my favorite baseball-themed songs is I Watched It All (On My Radio), by Lionel Cartwright. That being said, here is a YouTube™ link to that song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUyKAJGyfKY. I hope you like it as much as I do. What can I say, baseball is life!

Not much on tap for later today. Doctor, reading and relaxing. Ciao.
