Grandson Nick, And Great Grandson, Tommy 
7:13

It's 7:30; the lake lies open and calm—a gray mass—and the temperature is 30°. Snow still fills the front yard, stubborn and unmelted, though warmer weather is on the way over the next week.
Yesterday was a good day. No snow, despite temperatures in the teens through most of the morning. I had my coffee, wrote the blog, and went back and forth about pickleball before deciding to go. Most of the players are the same faces each morning, and I'm getting to know them, which is nice. I played a bit better than usual — my teammate and I won two games and lost two, so it wasn't a bad morning at all. I can see a little progress. I was home by 11:30 without needing to stop anywhere.
Evie was on the couch, reading on her phone and listening to Michael Smerconish as usual, with the only interruption being a Trump interview. Lunch was leftover chicken curry with rice, quite filling. I caught the beginning of the second season of Blood Coast.
After lunch, as usual, I read and napped while Evie watched her show and got a few things done. Neither of us was particularly productive. I showered at 4:30, and by 5:45, we were picking up Ron and Linda for the 25-minute drive to the Stockton Hotel for dinner.
The place was busy, but we were lucky to snag seats at the bar and quickly ordered Labatt's drafts and a Bud Light for Evie. The draw on Wednesdays is their meatloaf special — mashed potatoes and two sides. The three of us ordered it; Evie just wanted a basket of cut fries and a couple of bites of my meatloaf. The dinners were great. Nothing quite like mashed potatoes and gravy.
We were home after 8:00. Since Evie had school on Thursday, she headed up to bed, and I watched my show until 9:15 when the Miami/SMU game came on. I watched the first half and a few minutes into the second before it became clear Miami might pull it off — which they did, 89–79. A great win for the MAC.
“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance—WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!” Trump
