Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's a little "milky" looking, and might sprinkle a bit later. It'll be mostly cloudy and breezy, but quite unseasonably warm in the upper 60s! The last report I heard sounds like this warm spell will last a week or so - nice! :)
Yesterday: After taking care of some bits and pieces around the house, I went back to Durham. They are still doing what they love best .. most tests! At least I had a (fairly) comfortable chair to sit around in all day.
Today: Shortly I'll head back to Durham yet again. I suspect it'll be another long day of "hurry up and wait"! LOL!
