All's Still White And Cold

6:58

7:45

It's another cold Monday, what a way to start the week. We are both up early because we are driving into Cleveland for a test and appointment for me at the Cleveland Clinic, starting at 12:30. The weather looks fine and it should take us close to three hours.  It's a cold, 3º morning, clear skies, Venus hanging up and shining bright in the southeastern sky.  

Snowy Walk At The Chautauqua Institution

Sunday was another football Sunday, with probably two to go. Surprisingly, we received maybe four or five inches during the day and whenever I looked outside, the sky was filled with light snow,. Evie wanted to get some things done so we put off our Sunday constitutional, our walk around the Chautauqua Institution until 11:00. We were worried about ice so wore crampons on our shoes, making it safe.  It snowed much of the way and the wind was uncomfortable when we had to walk into it.  We took our time enjoying the light snow, the frosted trees, and bushes and were out for forty-five minutes.  

Thunder Bridge

On our way home, our son Tom called to see who we were rooting for, Kansas City or Buffalo.  At least in this game, we will be happy for the winner, sad for the loser and we told him we were rooting for Buffalo. When we got home, Evie made us avocado toasts with egg and we watched our Sunday morning show, CBS Sunday morning. We then relaxed until 3:00 when the games began and I read and napped briefly as usual. Before the game began,  Evie gave me a quick haircut, so I looked presentable because we were going to Cleveland on Monday and were going to spend the night with my sister Linda and her husband, Rich. 

Hungry Sparrows

We both thought about having popcorn and a Pepsi while we watched the game, so at halftime, after my shower, Evie made us a couple of bowls and we were happy, munching on our popcorn and enjoying a Pepsi. Dinner was easy, the leftover Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, and a salad.  Because of the popcorn, we waited for dinner until the KC/Buffalo game which started at 6:40. 

We loved our dinner and the exciting ending to the Rams game, a prelude to the Bills/Chiefs game.  We stayed up to the very end of the Bills game, alas, as they allowed the Chiefs to go down the field and tie the game with 13 seconds left on the clock and win it in overtime, a result of terrible defensive decisions by the Bills, and great play by the Chiefs three best players, Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill. It was a devastating loss for the Bills fans because everyone thought the Bills had the game won with a touchdown pass, putting them ahead with 13 seconds left on the clock. It was not to be.
