Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 5:30 a.m. in "The City."

The current temperature is 41° under cloudy-skies. Winds of 7 mph make it feel like 37°. Today's high of 47° will be about five degrees warmer than yesterday, but it will mark yet another day of below-seasonal average temperatures here in W. MI. There is only a 20% chance for rain-showers this morning, followed by a sunny afternoon. The current forecast calls for both Saturday and Sunday's high to reach 56°. The sun will rise this morning @ 6:47 a.m. and set later @ 8:38 p.m.

I was right about the rain yesterday precluding the grooming of the fur-children. Therefore, it is my considered opinion, that the grooming of the fur-children on the deck should wait until tomorrow.

I wrote quite a bit in my manuscript yesterday. If I write more today, I'll be a published author before I know it!

I spent some time playing with the girls in my studio, another benefit.

Tuesday's edition of the Grand Haven Tribune contained two crossword puzzles. As these are the early-week puzzles, I only required a tiny bit of assistance from my regular collaborator.

Today, I have been asked to make more vegan pepperoni. I'll do that after lunch, which generally coincides with our wake-up call. The fur-children seem okay with that time, for now.

Otherwise, not much to report. Ciao.
