A Morning Of Wind And Rain

8:21

No paddling this morning because of the weather and the unheard of fact that I didn't get up until after 8:00, unusual for me. It's warmer than yesterday 39º, a toasty 51, and the fishing boats have yet to get out there. 

Yesterday was back to normal in some ways. It began with a good paddle, coffee and writing the blog as usual. Because yoga starts at 9:30 on Tuesdays, I have to get organized quickly because I have to be off by 9:10. Evie didn't leave until 10:00 because her class was taking a bus to the Audubon Nature Center, a 20-minute drive. Yoga was interesting and different as we never stood. After class, I quickly ran through Wegman's and was home by noon. 

Lunch was what else, leftover Cincinnati chili, and I watched my show. I still don't know who the killer is after 14 episodes. I am into my book, also about a killing, called The Whisper Man, and I get it mixed up with my TV series, The Killing. I napped, and when I woke, Evie was home, tired from her trip to the Audubon, but she and he kids seemed to have a good time.  After my nap, I checked out to make sure my Weber Grill was still working after sitting outside in the winter, and then cleaned it up with Comet. It's ready for summer.

Some Of Evie's Kindergartens

We skipped wine time because we were going out to dinner at Steener's Pub with Linda and Ron. They picked us up at 6:00 and drove over to Greenhurst. We easily found a booth, ordered beers and the steak special, two filets or delmonicos for thirty bucks. Then we spent the rest of the time listening to Ron and Linda regale us with their two-week trip to Barcelona, the south of France, and Paris. It sounded amazing but expensive, especially since the dollar has weakened because of Bozo's tariffs. We left around 7:45 and were home by 8:00. Evie went to bed soon after, and I watched some basketball, a WNBA game with Caitlin Clark, and then some of the NBA game and my series, The Killing. I am getting my fill of basketball.
