Tueday Things

It was almost 0800 when I got up this morning. After going downstairs and doing my morning computer activities, I went into the kitchen and made myself some oatmeal. It was that kind of morning. Cool and something nice and hot sounded and tasted so good.

Kathleen came downstairs as I was finishing my oatmeal and we talked at the table for a while as we watched the latest on the search for the lost climbers. It certainly does not look good, especially as they discovered that they only had light packs and were not really prepared for a very long stay on the mountain.

After a while, I went into the living room and read the paper, the mail came, but I waited until I finished the paper until I got up and got it. More Christmas cards and a medical insurance statement, all the rest was junk mail.

After I recycled the paper and the mail, I went upstairs and changed clothes as Kathleen and I were having lunch with my accountability group and their wives. After we ate, we all went to see the movie "The Nativity", it was really pretty good and probably as accurate as any "Hollywood" production could be.

We got home about 0700 and as the sun was down it had really started to cool off. The temperature is supposed to hover just below the freezing level again tonight. It has been cold at night and then warming up during the daylight hours. That is soon to change, as they are predicting rain for the next few days. They are also warning of the possibility of freezing rain for the next couple of days. Winter in Oregon!

Well, Kathleen said that we are having chili tonight for dinner, it is a good cold night meal and I like it no matter what the weather. I some how do not think that there will be anything else exciting the rest of the night, so I will say good night.
