Yes, it is. we’re going out to eat tonight—the pub offers a free birthday steak. Can’t miss that. Tomorrow she’s asked for a mandarin orange chicken dish I do, and we will see if I can remember it.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/23/americas/hurricane-patricia/index.html Blew up real fast—some are saying it’s ‘only’ cat 5 because that’s where the chart stops. They’re comparing this to typhoon Haiyan, which did immense damage and...

Seems vitamin D deficiency (which I do have) can cause muscle soreness. Took a 1000 D3 pill, an hour later had much less soreness. Guess what’s now sitting by my chair, not to forget.

Fog. The season is changing. We are forecast to go to 32 at night in coming days. The book is nearing completion. I have scenes mapped. I can see the finish line. My publisher has had an adventure, meanwhile: her husband broke his leg very badly while on tour in...

Turned out, in our walk today, most every eatery in Garland District, our old little shopping area, vintage about 1930—was closed. The place lives only after dark or on weekdays, apparently. To our new ‘regular’ place is a 1.5 mile round trip. It...

Saw the moon rise like Mars—red and large in the sky, with the Earth’s shadow on it. And two shooting stars close in both time and origin, but in opposite directions…the Perseid meteor group. We caught it later, white and high, with the shadow only a...

Decided to apply some exercise for our general good as well as letting us eat a little more freely. Yesterday we hiked 3/4 mile to a local eatery for lunch, had lunch, walked back. Today we drove the car over to a fair-sized park, hiked the circumference of same, had...
