Log time: 1735

Another day with temps below freezing. This morning on my walk to the Y only 28th Street sidewalks were plowed.

I am pleased that my time for the mile continues to go down. My goal is to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes.

Panera was not very crowded this morning. I had my usual coffee and a banana.

Al Gore is on Apple's Board. I wonder what is feeling is about Apple's fight with the FBI. As I said before I am on Apple's side.

The GOP debate last night seemed like a circus. I did not watch it.

Unlike the GOP candidates I believe immigration is good for the USA. I would tear down any wall along the borders. I am also a free trader.

It is hard to believe that the USA is shipping LNG to Europe. Take that Russia! All because of fracking. Fracking is a game changer.

I don't care about the Academy Awards.

I am thinking of changing my daily newspaper. Maybe the Chicago Tribune?

As soon a I got home I took Ms P on her walk.

After lunch I put three shirts in my backpack and walked over to the Tailor's on Thornhills. I am having the shirts altered so I don't have to tuck them in. It only works on pull over shirts.

Nancy and I decided on an Irish trip for the end of April. I called the Travel Agency and told them to get the ball rolling.

For dinner tonight I will have some left over beef stew and pizza from last night. Sounds good?

This and that:

You know your are getting old when the swim suit issue of SI and Time arrive on the same day and you read Time.

The local road agencies did a good job clearing the roads after our big storm. I remember as a boy in the 40s the use of salt was not prevalent in clearing roads. After a big snow folks would put chains on their tires.

The worst of our winter weather is over. The historical average daily high temp for March is above 32. Any snow will soon melt.
