Slept in and will make mini cheesecakes in muffin tins later for Valentine's Day.

Yo sup there man all! How are you today? Today, I’ve just had leftover pizza with lemon iced tea for lunch again. Tonight, just relaxing online before falling asleep.

Not with this icy mess outside!

You could always arrange shipping :)

On the topic of tasty food, my wife and I had an impromptu visit to our favorite brewpub. I hadn't planned on going but they had a special Valentine's day brunch on offer so we went right after church. It was very tasty, although I was surprised to see the place emptier than I expected. The table we sat at had a sign showing it was reserved from 5pm - they have a dinner menu today - but it was odd to see low demand for brunch. Never mind, we enjoyed ours and the usual atmosphere.

It's chilly here but not too cold to go for a walk. I left it a bit late so did my 5-mile loop because I didn't really have time to do 8 miles before losing daylight. I have some lights to clip on my sneakers that my wife bought me, that I'm keen to test out. The trouble is at the moment when the sun goes down it gets a whole lot colder, which isn't so much fun.

Working on my Spotify "Headphone Jams" playlist. Added in some Pink Floyd deep cuts as well as from an artist named Jakko Jakszyk - a current member of King Crimson. There was an F.M. station in Detroit years ago that did a "headphone rock" show every Sunday night and I recall there was nothing better than kicking back with a set of 'Koss' headphones and just getting lost in it. Fond memories.

We're supposed to have an ice storm today through tomorrow. Oh yay. SO I went grocery shopping since I hadn't gone in 11 days and picked up some paczki!

Wish I could say the same thing where I live. o_O

Are those temperatures Celsius or Fahrenheit?

If the temperatures are in the 30s (F) I'm OK with walking as long as the winds aren't too high. At present I have cold weather clothing that can keep static cold out but nothing suitable for working up a sweat in icy cold winds. If the temperature drops much below 30 the chances are I'll walk indoors instead. It's tedious but gets some exercise and means I don't have to deal with thermal issues.

I'd really like to get some decent clothing for exercising outdoors in the cold, it's just a problem finding somewhere to buy it. I need to try things on and so many places have closed changing rooms - presumably they are afraid someone will lick the bench or something - and I'm really not interested in bringing things home to try on, only to wonder whether they'll take it back if it's the wrong size. Because, horror, I might have touched it. Never mind the fact I can go into the store and touch every single thing on the shelves.

That's cold. I went for my walk outside and made it about 1/4 mile before deciding it was too cold. It's about 25 degrees F here.

Good choice. I like it to at least be above freezing when I go walking.

It's back to work today (after the holiday) so the mail volume will be heavy. To add insult to injury, we received 2 more inches of snow last night and the temperature is below zero this morning.
