Monday morning

A cold Monday morning and the puppies take their sweet time getting their business done. I forgot the rule, below 40 degrees, wear gloves. Russell thought that I should get up at 7am as it was light and he doesn't seem to understand the time change on Sunday. As it is getting colder and the days shorter, we're changing walk time to early afternoon. Skye has been doing so well on these long walks, she really gotten into better physical shape. I think she enjoys these walks and just trots alongside her Dad. Yesterday Russell got to play football with some of the Davidson students in front of Chambers. He ran and ran chasing the football or the carrier.

Less pain so far today and seems to be lower, which is always good. Counting on good fortune to make the Umphreys McGee show in Boone on Wednesday night.

Professor Gowen had a sign on this office door when I was an undergraduate at ECU that said, "You can't win the game, you can't lose the game, and you can't quit the game." Looks like he was wrong, lol.

If case you were wondering what a supercollision
looks like using lead ions.

Skye did well on our walk. She was limping a little so we took a shorter walk up to the graveyard. We stopped at my father's grave, in the shade of an elm tree. He passed 20 years ago this month. I'll be buried there too.Turned into a lovely day the temperature climbing 35 degrees from our morning walk.
