Ohio Valley Weather Update

It looks like Puxatawney Phil has been right for the week after he didn't see his shadow.  It was 62 and sunny yesterday, and today through Sunday the temperatures will be in the low 60's.  After our week of single digit temperatures last month, this is a welcome reprieve. 

Wishful Wednesday

 I really shouldn't say "wishful" because it should be saying-prayers-Wednesday.  I have some friends now going through different troubles, situations, and thanksgivings.  I am praying for peace, comfort, healing, and thanks for the various issues they are going through right now.  

One friend got a great report from her oncologist yesterday - saying still no sign of cancer, and that they would see her in a year for another scan.  Another friend is rejoicing that her doctors said she is cancer free.  Another friend is dealing with debilitating back pain as a result from a fall.  Another friend is dealing with a major plumbing issue at her house, which is a big drama, as all plumbing issues are. 

I'm just thankful for these friends that are a part of the Old Man and my family of friends.  And I am thankful for you, faithful readers. 

I Feel Old

I feel very old today.  I watched the last hour of the Grammy Awards last night, and just now read the list of all of the winners.  Other than Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Chris Stapleton, I didn't know any other winner, nor the majority of the nominees.  Yep, I feel old.  

Mullet Watch

 Mullet sightings here in my 'hood have been as rare as Bigfoot sightings.  But yesterday at the grocery store, I saw a doozy.  It was a long gray mullet.  When I say "long" the party-in-the-back went down to the bottom of his Levi denim jacket he was wearing.  I have to say it was an impressive mullet. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 I am happy to report that we had sunshine all day long today, and the temperature got up to 56.  And just more reinforcement for Puxatauney Phil's prediction yesterday - when I went to the grocery store today, I saw two guys wearing shorts.  

Spring time is coming, faithful readers.  

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 It was a beautiful, sunny day yesterday and the temperature reached 60 degrees here in the 'Ville.  I went to the store, and sure enough, I saw two guys wearing shorts, one of which was wearing flip flops.  I hope that is a more reliable sign of early spring weather than Puxatawney Phil.  

Here Comes The Sun

 I'm not specific, but I'm pretty sure it's been well over a week since we've seen the sunshine.  But it has been out today and for that we are all thankful.
