It’s 66 degrees and in 22 more degrees, we shall hit our high for the day.

I am treating myself to breakfast and will hopefully feel like mowing the yard. Later today, Laura and I agreed to go to dinner but no details. We’re pretty steady with tossing out ideas and just aiming in a direction.

Other than that, there’s not much else to report. I’ve read up on Queen Elizabeth’s passing and the impending details of her funeral. It should be quite impressive and the largest event, perhaps, of my lifetime. When Queen Victoria died in 1901, her son, Edward, was probably about the same age as Charles. Edward reigned for a decade and then his son, George, took over until 1936. William and George seem to be in the same box. It shall be interesting to see how all this could play out in history.

Okay, it is nearing time for No. 17 to arrive. Whatever your plans, make it a great day!
