In addition to another just brilliant blue sky, the temperature rose by five degrees (68): shirt sleeve weather for us Northern types. The locals are still complaining about how "real" the frigid mornings are, but by the time I met with Sifu Misner for my Tai Chi lesson, I was wearing my normal uniform: shorts and a Gonzaga sweatshirt. On the healing front, Judy's back is a bit better. Her trainer, Rob, put her through a little rehab instead of a workout. That seemed to help. I also managed to extend my cribbage lead to $1.27 despite the fact that the Wiley Cager hand two plus twenty point hands. I just keep plugging away with my consistent eight to ten points with an occasional dozen thrown in. Five days to go until this month's payoff. Still plenty of time for a reversal of fate. It's hard to believe that we've been here seventeen days. We both commented on how comfortable we feel in this home, and I must admit it's even better than Frac. We're looking forward to next week when Leticia and Falcon come down. They'll spend a week with us, which will give Mimi and Pop Pops a nice grandchild fix. In other news, I've lined up a meeting time with Sifu Misner's senior student, Jason. He's a strong man, built exactly like Sifu Stuart, my teacher at home. A mountain of a man, he weighs at least 300 pounds. It will be fun to have another view point as well as a practice partner. Finally, tonight's a late night because I'm staying up to watch Arizona play Washington State. Besides being loyal Zag fans, we've adopted the Arizona Wildcats, too. You know what they say: "When in Rome...." Anyway, it's easy to root for their coach, Tommy Lloyd, a former Zag. Hopefully, they can redeem themselves after their earlier loss to WSU. Either way, it won't really change the fact that life is good, especially today.
