Redhead

The Syracuse Orange played last night and the game ran over into the State of the Union Address. Syracuse made a mighty comeback but fell short to Florida State. A bad start which put them 22 points down was too much to overcome and they fell to the Seminoles, but a great comeback to even be in the game.

On a side note, I watched a fifties western, "The Redhead From Wyoming", with Maureen O'Hara before the SU game. It was a silly western overall but who doesn't enjoy watching the gorgeous O'Hara fighting the bad guys while wearing an evening dress. Good stuff!

In the meantime during the SU game the Trumpster was giving his speech to Congress. I managed to catch just the last part of it, so I can't really comment . The reviews in the news today however were mostly good as the pollsters were busy.  CBS and CNN both reported positive poll numbers for the president. It would be nice now if both parties and the POTUS could find some common ground to stand on in the weeks ahead!

We are with Diana and Gerhard today so it means we will eat well tonight! Yippee!!!! Beef Stew and chocolate cake.

The ladies are playing cards by the pool on a stunningly beautiful day with Jackie the cat supervising the game. 

I spent the morning at the local dealer getting some brake work done on the Ford. The people were very nice but a little overboard.I had to check in at the concierge desk when I went to the waiting room. I'm not a customer but a "service guest". A plate of warm chocolate chip cookies awaited me along with a complimentary bottle of water. All very pleasant I guess. I ate 2 cookies and spent time reading "The Sierra Phantom", a book given to me by a buddy about a man who spent 50/years living in the wilderness. 

Our car is an electric hybrid and we are getting over 70 mpg!!! Really the finest auto we have ever owned!! Can't say enough good things about it. 

Finally, today's weird observation: Why is it that every time I go to the bathroom, my cat, Teddy,follows me in? If I close the door he scratches to get in. So I let him in and he expects a love fest. I try to explain to him that I am unable to multitask, but he will not listen.

Did I tell you he likes cardboard boxes?
Finally, a big shout out to my twin cuzzints, Claire and Judy, who are celebrating a birthday today!!!
