New Year greetings from SW Kansas! Joshua is still here for another day or so. Was so good to have Shay, Naiu, and Marcus here. Tyrone never showed up. Hope I see him before he leaves next week. He is going to Brno, Czech Republic to be playing football with the Brno Sigrs.....Euro football. www.sigrs.cz/index.htmlI'm somewhat concerned, as that area is pretty much a hot spot. But I do have a friend in Prague he can contact if a need arises. The rest of the day includes T-bone steaks, some football, and of course a nap.

Some rapper has apparently hacked into the Star Tribune website and is writing hedlines:

New Years Greetings. Off to a bit of a late start today. Char and I stayed up until nearly 4:00 AM watching Season One of "24". We pulled it up almost by accident, just browsing Prime looking for something free to watch for an hour or so while waiting to do the "Happy New Year's" toast. And once we started, there was no place to pull over and stop.

Ever thought of doing catering on the side? Sounds deelish. I have, but not having attended culinary arts school puts me at a disadvantage when going up against true professionals. I also have a limited range, not a full portfolio of recipes that come sliding out of the skillet or the oven perfectly. And when there's money involved, it's a whole different league. I may not qualify even for AA minors. You may have been joking, Rick, but I do love to cook and feed loved ones and friends. Come to Brooklyn. I'll cook for you. 🍔

Just stopping by to wish you all a happy 2018! Ever since Lonnie died - and especially since IJ 2017 - I've intended to be a more frequent visitor to The Cafe in order to stay in touch. Hopefully, I'll do a better job of that this year. Just for fun, I thought I'd share a video Lonnie posted on FB a year ago. It popped up as one of my "memories for today." Here's a link: www.facebook.com/knightlonnie/videos/10154207338767596/In case that doesn't work, I'm also attaching a screenshot of the video. ❤ Patti

We so appreciate that. I think of you daily, we keep missing chances to meet up, but let's persevere, shall we? And my almost daily connection with Lon-Man's music is whenever I call up YouTube, somewhere on that home page is a Red Couch Series tune, "Still Crazy After All These Years," and I listen and bawl my eyes out ...

below freezing (30F) with a stiff North wind, but no rain yet this year. Heard the clock strike 12 just before I fell asleep last night. Does anybody care about the College Football 'playoff' today? I used to enjoy New Year day bowls, trying to decide which one to watch when there was a conflict (switching back and forth avoiding commercials and watching the marching bands). And when the day was over so was football, one could always argue about who really deserved to be #1, since polls could differ. Now I just don't care. ...and you kids get offa my lawn!!! My Seattle friend said they finished the year with 50", a pretty solid showing. I'm guessing you'd get a bit more? I don't know our 2017 numbers yet but in 2016 we had a Noah-like 90"! There's a little known secret we try not to let many people know. We're in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island and the other San Juans, but mostly VI - my weather station measured 30" of rain last year (just barely), slightly above the average annual rainfall for Anacortes. Micro climates, don't you just luv'em. This is the first year I've had a weather station and I haven't dug into the data I've been saving to break it down but I hope to graph it out sometime when I'm bored to see the trends. But 90"!!!!! it's a wonder you guys aren't floating away!
