Finally a really nice day.

It's a good morning...and I'm feelin' fine.

I prepared for it for several weeks, setting up my deck aka the outside office (as I outlined in a prior blog). I made Shelly and this correspondent my specialty omelets (sauteed onions, garlic and ginger) topped with Muenster Cheese. Shelly has hers with a toasted English Muffin; I preferred the Bialys. We both enjoyed my morning brew (hers was a second helping as she prefers Dunkin’). After our tasty breakfast I read my morning papers and emails – responded where needed, watched some news and gained some exercise sweeping tree droppings.

Before exercise, I made a new friend (see pic below and at left above).

I know Shelly posted pics of me reading and later sweeping on Instagram.

After my workout, I continued to enjoy the outside, sampling a variety of my music on Apple Music, Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir’s solo LP, “Ace,” most of the The Buckinghams’ hit singles, some of Byrds’ member Chris Hillman’ s solo work on Asylum Records following his stint in the Souther Hillman Furay Band and finally a bit of Chicago (from its Live at Carnegie Hall 4 LP set).

We concluded the outdoor stint when it was time to pick up dinner (My choice of entree and restaurant inspired with by a conversation during Gotham (Zoom) Happy Hour with my friend Raj Goel.). It was a short drive and Shelly noted how nice driving is during a clear sky in early eve daylight.

Along with dinner, we watched more episodes of Fauda (we are in middle of Season 2) on Netflix.

Yesterday was a nice start.

I got to

"look at the sun."

I look forward to more nice days.
