A quiet, sunny morning.
No plans until this evening when I've been invited for dinner at friend's house. Following dinner we'll be going to CSPS (Czech-Slovak Protective Society), to see the Cedar County Cobras performance.

Chilly yesterday, spring is back today, summer coming this weekend.
Waiting to to see what Bill, Twin Cities newspapers, have to say about last night's woman's basketball game. For these who forgot to watch the game, it ended 108-60, Iowa.

My daughter has been involved in the development of software that allows blind people to do tasks like medical scheduling via computer. I believe the initial project was in response to a request from the VA.
She works at Epic Systems, a company that makes medical software.

8 degrees here this morning with a very little trace of snow on the edge of the driveway. I heard some thunder last evening but no storm, just wind, wind that went on most of the night.

Thanks! I found out another new thing today. I was driving on the freeway and yawned. Immediately there was a warning beep and a message popped up on the screen “stay alert” I feel so coddled. My Prius, every once in a while, will present a "picture" of a cup of coffee on the instrument panel with the message, "would you like to take a break?" I believe it's caused by the car wandering within the driving lane, or too many corrections with the steering wheel. Makes me wonder

One more day of summer, then a day or 2 of winter again.
Music practice this afternoon, something I look forward to every week.
Today is my oldest grandson's birthday, it's really hard to believe he's 24 years old.

Another summer day here. Breakfast over, laundry almost done drying, coffee still being consumed. I've already been to Vinton this morning, I needed some hardware to modify the tablet holder I use when playing music. I've got the mod half completed, need another hour to finish.
62 degrees this afternoon, I'll be hiking on the Cedar Valley Nature Trail. Maybe I'll see my favorite owl.

A chilly morning, maybe making into the mid 40s this afternoon.
I've got a couple errands to run in Vinton today and I'll be stopping at Phil's where we will do music stuff.

A little cooler today, mid 50s. That sounds like a good temperature for a hike, as long as I have a light jacket.
I'd like to go out for dinner tonight, but I don't know where I should go, guess I need to figure out what I'm hungry for.
Anyone here a Michael Perry fan? My daughter is ordering tickets to see (hear) him in April. He'll be at the Stoughton Opera house.

Another beautiful day here.
I just got home from Vinton, today was haircut day.
With temps at or near 60 today, I need to get in a hike or a bike ride this afternoon.

Another beautiful summer day here, 59 degrees expected.
I have errands to do in Cedar Rapids so I'll plan a trip there, timed so I'll be there for lunch. I'll pass on Culver's today in favor of Hy Chi (Hy Vee Chinese restaurant)

Good morning, it's a beautiful sunny day, perfect for going to the Mercantile in Garrison to listen to the Feralings and have some delicious food. That's how I'll spend my afternoon.

A cool, but beautiful, sunny, Saturday morning.
Getting ready to head to Vinton for some groceries and maybe lunch at the Chinese restaurant. I like to go there and visit with Sri, she grew up in Surabaya, Indonesia, just a few blocks from the the Hyatt hotel that I used to stay at. I like to spring some of my very limited, Indesian language, on her.
In other news, the Mexican restaurant where we've been meeting for our Saturday evening Idiot Jam meal, is "temporarily" closed. We'll see.
