Good morning. The Diamondbacks completely dominated the second game and evened the series. Good job, Snakes.
Nothing much to report. Have a good day.

Cold, rainy, and dark so far. I hear shotguns again this morning so something is being hunted. I am just not sure what.
Coffee is ready.

It can't already be 4, can it? Congratulations.
I'm off to Amazon. Lately (and unusually) I've been feeling my age. A coworker told me yesterday that I do good for someone my age. The asterisk has been added to my accomplishments. And the used-to-be's are piling up in the corner. Ooof.

You have reached the age where sentences end in “for your age.”
It’s a milestone of sorts that just happens one day without warning. There is nothing quite like having a doctor tell you how well you are doing for someone your age. Or being given a compliment about something that you have done that ends with for your age.
Waitresses call me sweetie now. No waitress called me sweetie when I was 25.
You become the grandfather figure whether you are a grandfather or not.
Another high point is reading the paper and seeing a story about “an elderly man/woman” and the age listed is 5 years younger than you.
Golden Years for everyone! Patooie!
Old guys don’t help the image. We were out to breakfast and there were 9 guys my age in the place. All of them had the exact same beard. A gray Van Dyke. It’s become the badge of the old guy face. I went home and shaved mine off. I don’t look a day over 72 now. Not a day.

The morning routine. Up, coffee, medicine, Wordle fail, breakfast. Pretty much the usual.

Good morning. We had sunshine and 80°F yesterday. This morning we have rain and 59°. I just finished preparing French toast for the girls. In France, they call it "pain perdu" (lost bread). Gotta love non-stick ceramic skillets, which make life so much easier.
Enjoy this day.

I see that today Trump is making his eighth visit to Iowa in a little over a month, in Sioux City, speaking in a downtown theater that holds 2,500 people. I honestly don't get the reasoning of these appearances -- anyone who would go is already on his side, who is he gonna win over? Preaching to the choir, seems like.

Frites.
Corner shop beckons. I'm craving crumpets and Earl Grey tea. Then maybe some arseing around on the C tuning Lowden.
Planet Earth III is on sea creatures this evening. Cuttlefish are cool.*

Yesterday's skeet shoot went well: 22 out of 25. That is good for me, especially since I have not shot at anything for more than two years. My two trap scores were not as good. My shoulder is sore.
Another rainless day is predicted. I have no good excuse for not mowing the lawn.

Morning.
I'm filled with apprehension.
And I'm not alone.
The Vikings win over San Fran was so encouraging that I have begun to have hope for this team... and that hope is going to be put the test today in a cold Green Bay against those dratted Packers, a team the now hoped for new Vikings should handle handily.
But it's the border battle. And all bets are off the table. And apprehension reigns.

Oddly, I've never tried Lady Grey tea. I'll get some next trip to the supermarket.
Here's a CGDGBE tuning tune I didn't and can't play. Noodling around in the vicinity of it is quite fun.
