It got a little frosty around here this morning -- I'm thinking of stacking some logs in the fireplace and getting my blaze on. Sun is out now, so maybe I should take care of some yard issues before settling too comfortably with a fire and that bottle of nero d'avola I got yesterday. The sauce still has another four hours until we can eat it... I guess I should get some things done in that interim.

Too bad the baseball game isn't on during the day -- maybe I'd see more of it. Last night's game didn't seem like much of a game so I switched channels and, finding nothing interesting, went upstairs to read until sleep took me away. Too bad MLB thinks it has to run those games so late in the evening -- it's such an effort to watch even a portion of those slow-moving late-night games, and forget having the kids watch a full game. It's almost like they don't want people to watch. I'm happy to oblige. At least if it was on in the afternoon I'd put it on while doing other things.

Mojo is out at a birthday party for one of his little school buddies. That leaves me here with Cookie. Maybe I'll take him outside with me to spread topsoil. He likes dirt.
