Good Morning! Wednesday January 5, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to start out clear ... just palest gold and a touch of pink starting to show now. It will only go to upper 40s, with clouds moving in by late afternoon. The forecast says the "S" word is possible at least 3 times in the next week ... it's already been an unusual winter. More snow would be weird! LOL!
Yesterday: It was a very long day. There were only 3 appointments after all, but they took from 7:00 to 4:00. We stopped to eat on the way home, and both of us pretty much crashed! I did manage - barely - to stay awake to watch the new dance show, which I enjoyed a lot; it's going to be interesting! :)
Today: This is my "Monday", I go to work. I've discovered I really don't like "early" morning! :)

Today: "Twelfth Night"

Quotes of the Day:
"If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age."

-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"Never take the advice of someone who has not had your kind of trouble."
-- Sidney J. Harris

"When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is any thing you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it."
