The sun has been with us all morning and into the afternoon, though a bit obscured by the overcast sky. Thursday, we are promised rain all day which could interfere with the train rides at The Park. I hope not. Midnight Friday it will be 29 degrees and will plummet to -6 degrees by 8 AM only rising to 1 degree. I am not hopeful for an evening in my usual nightly digs.

The impending rain is torturing my muscles and my sinus pressure while my gut issue is causing physical discomfort. I slept well through last night I am dragging. I am confident I will regain energy once I am at The Park but the preparation for today is laborious.

I discovered Katherine Jenkins and love her “Sanctus” which is a vocal tribute to Elgar’s “Nimrod” from THE ENIGMA VARIATIONS, No. 38. Gorgeous!

Make it a great day…
