I am in a thankful mood his AM. It's a good thing to be able to count one's blessings as it were, and consider those who are less fortunate.
I managed to go to sleep around 11 and didn't wake up until 6, pretty good for me, especially after the time zone change which often bothers me for days. My wife sleeps pretty late, usually, I value the early morning stillness.
We made a dining reservation at my favorite Italian place this evening. The owner/manager is this petite Korean lady. It's not very pricey, nor is it cheap. She had a really nice place in an older house that was a lot of fun, but a developer bought her out for much $$$ I'd guess, and the entire block is now completely cleared of buildings awaiting "development". The frenetic building pace around here has abated though downtown is a major project near the stadium that is maybe halfway. I don't know if that impacts stuff here much, maybe. A large new mixed use building is slated to open here in spring.
Anyway, be thankful. Hopefully you live under a roof and have hot water and decent food.
