Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The forecast for today is "partly cloudy", but at the moment my backyard is full of sunlight! It'll be cooler today, around 50; and windy. Not as windy, I hope, as Sunday night was! That blew the neighbor's dog pen over!
Last night's business class was interesting, even if I don't totally grasp all the concepts. We have "homework" of sorts, a self analysis using a business model. Good thing we don't get grades! LOL!!
Tonight is more AI, although (as always) I don't enjoy the auditions as much as when they've narrowed down the field. So, I will watch - but will be doing other things as well. There's still a lot of stuff to finish packing up to put upstairs, and the ever-present laundry. :)
Today is "National Speak Up and Succeed Day" ... "Toad Hollow Day of Encouragement" ... "Anniversary - Dental Drill" ... "Admission Day (Michigan)" ... "Australia Day (Australia)" ... "Republic Day (India)".
