Blog time 1125 at Panera

It was 20 degrees when Nancy went out with Ms P.  She left at 0715 for MVP.  She takes a class called Healthy Life Styles.  She likes this class.  Later today she is taking some sloppy joes over to the Hartmans.  Jackie Hartman just had some major surgery.  Friends are providing meals until she recovers.

Drove to the Y today.  Calisthenics, stationary bike, and short walk.  Showered and then headed to Panera for oatmeal, coffee and some reading.

This and that:

I am surprised at the number of young men at the Y in mid morning.  Apparently they either work from home or have flexible hours.  

What a difference a year makes.  Last year in January the Alpena Schools had 20 snow days.  This year they had 1.

The most popular winter coat for both men and women are down (polyester) jackets.

Is China getting a handle on the Coronavirus?

At home I took a 30 minute walk.  Put out corn for deer before lunch.

Spent some office time before a nap.  After the nap fixed our afternoon apple snack.

It was snowing when we headed out at 1700 for dinner at Brann’s.  Nancy had her favorite margarita and I a glass of wine.  I had a bowl of chili and Nancy had a Cuban chicken sandwich.

Every Friday night on the PBS news I like to watch the Brooks and Shield comments on the past week events.  Brooks is the moderate and Shield’s is what today is called a progressive.  I always think Brooks tops Shield.

Tonight we watched an episode of Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn.  I slept through most of the show.

Right before turning the TV off I switched to the Democratic Presidential debate.  Watched for about 20 minutes.  I thought ABC did a poor job running the debate.  

Veronica texted Nancy and gave her a report on Alessandra’s performance in her school’s’ reenactment of the Revolutionary War battle of Yorktown.  Of course she was great.

Light snow when I took Ms P out at 2230.
