I almost broke down and turned on the heat this morning as we woke up to 50 degrees. Instead, Ithru on pants,socks and a sweatshirt and toughed it out.
It didn't warm up very fast so I was feeling irritated. Then, I read about a man in Australia who was killed by a crocodile last week. His family was unable to save him and had to drive 2 hours to call for help. They were so far in the outback that they had no cell phone coverage. So, I quit feeling bad for myself. Other people's 'real' miseries tend to do that. Authorities did end up killing the crocodile and recovered human remains.
Coco is over and we've started our summer sports training program. We played soccer this morning and basketball this afternoon. He fell asleep on the couch for a bit in the afternoon. I must be a tough taskmaster!
The Locust Street Festival was a lot of fun yesterday. It was a good 15 degrees warmer at the festival despite only being 2 miles away. We had the cool Lake Michigan breeze at our hacienda yesterday. The Whiskey Belle's put on an excellent show as always. I was very surprised and pleased to see my favorite reggae band, RAS Movement playing on the main stage.
Alexander Imich passed away on sunday. He was the oldest man in the world at 111 years of age and he lived in New York. It seems like every month the oldest person in the world passes away. The newest oldest man is Japan's Sakari Momoi who was born a mere one day after Mr. Imich. Hopefully, we won't be hearing about him next month. Enjoy the honor Sakari and good luck!
Later
