It's a cold, 21º morning, a bit of a change from yesterday morning's 58º. We received an inch or two of snow on a windy evening, blizzard-like snow really because of the winds, a constant 25mph with gusts in the 40s. This morning we have a partly cloudy sky, some blue, some gray and it looks like the sun may pop out in a bit. It's 9:15 and I just returned from breakfast on a cold but partly sunny morning.
Yesterday was amazing weather-wise, with the temperature dropping 40º and just as the weatherman predicted, at 10:00 in the evening, it was 21º. Surprisingly, I was able to get in a brief paddle before the wind picked up and the temperature dropped so I was happy. After paddling, I wrote the blog and drove off to yoga for a final class with Tara, my yoga teacher. She will be on a six-month hiatus as she hopes to walk the 2002-mile Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. Her 26-pound backpack carries all she needs and she will be reporting her hike on various media sites so we can follow her adventure.

| Packed And Ready To Go |
After class, I did a quick run through Aldis, to pick up some goodies and deals. I like Aldis because it's rarely crowded and groceries are cheaper, especially essentials like milk, eggs, and veggies. I was home by 1:00 and Evie had already put together our dinner, Salisbury steak with mushrooms. For lunch, I had a couple of goose liver sandwiches on brioches sliders and the rest of my white bean stew. And I am still working my way through the PBS series on Vietnam. As the afternoon progressed, the weather worsened, and the wind picked up so we hunkered down, turning up the heat and making sure our devices were charged. I had a call with Charles Schwab, at 2:30, after a brief nap. After the call we waited until 5:00, then poured ourselves a glass of wine and listened to the 'bad news' that the Supreme Court will take the Trump immunity claim, making it more difficult to try him before the election. Teflon Don.
Dinner was great, the Salisbury steak, asparagus, and mashed potatoes, yum, and we watched a John Carney film called Flora And Son. This is the fourth film we have enjoyed by him, all similar in that they follow musicians attempting to make a name for themselves. Our favorite was his first, Once, and Sing Street and Begin Again would be next. Flora And Son was not our favorite but we still enjoyed it despite some of the vulgarity. We ended the night with another great John Stewart Monday, on the Daily Show and then a Colbert.
