Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.      

Father's Day

Neither of my kids were around today during waking hours, but both made their presence known.  Allie left for San Francisco early this morning, but woke me up before leaving at 4 a.m. to wish me a Father's Day.  Justin called at 5:15 a.m., hoping to beat Allie to be first.

From this week's visit

I enjoyed both of their presents.  Justin gave me two four packs of Dollar Shave Club razors that he found on sale for 80% off or $1.25 each.  Good shopping, Justin. I'm glad some of my frugal habits stuck to you.

Allie gave me a souvenir that she brought back from Scotland:  a glass for Scotch with a mini-bottle of Chivas Regal.  Thanks, Allie.
