Least

Sunday. Lights out early, having skipped watching anything on the tablet, to awaken then at six-forty after a long and, I suspect, decent night's sleep. Feel better. I'm pretty sure. Up and out the door to drive to breakfast, arriving later than usual, but the morning restaurant opens later on weekends now and so sat alone at my usual table to read the papers and wait on a single pork chop, eggs over medium, country potatoes, toast and coffee for breakfast. No problem eating the whole thing and I'll probably be hungry again sooner than later.

Clear skies and sun. Sorry to miss the Saint Patrick's Day parade yesterday, but again, feeling better about whatever that was that cleaned out my alimentary canal so efficiently over these last couple of miserable days. Finished up the papers at about nine, all the tables by then filled with other customers, and so out the door to take the usual pictures on the way to the car.

OK, I'll repeat my morning mantra: get out the door today and take some pictures, if only on a brief walk to the lake. We've been driving to breakfast too often.

You need to go by an ATM before tomorrow. Oh, and what happened to yesterday's decision to go by the supermarket on the way home this morning?

Totally forgot, the brain wiped clean.

Later. A bus to the Broadway ATM, a walk to the apartment house construction site to take but four pictures and then back to the return bus, getting off at the 7-11 look-alike to pick up a pint of strawberry ice cream on the way home. A good way to skip any errant thoughts or worries of pasta with clam sauce.

I'd forgotten that the Arnold Palmer tournament was finishing up this afternoon, but dialed in finally to see that Woods had surged since yesterday and had just tied for second with a birdie, but then fell back to tie for fifth after some unfortunate drives. Such is life. Nice to see him playing as he once played, though, whether I know anything about golf or not. Which I don't.

Evening. Watched the two Elementary reruns that started at five and that was about it for television. Two of the three PBS stations have been raising money now for what seems like forever and the shows they run to raise their funds interest me not in the least.
