     Good Morning Dear Readers, 

     Today you will find me monitoring some contractors in a high security area. How secure? Well, if my phone is on in the area the alarms go off and the guys with guns will soon be enroute. So, no phones. But that doesn't stop me from reading and writing. Yup, I have brought my writing materials so I can pen more of the rough draft for my new tome. I'm already looking at this being a shorter book. Maybe about two hundred pages. My Better Half has mentioned that the directions for any recipes should be a larger font size than the written portions. A great idea that I'll have to play around with. The goal is to educate or guide the single person away from relying on drive through fast foods and delivery services for their meals. I will cover equipment, seasonings, meats, veggies, safety, as well as do's and don't. I don't know if I will have a separate section for the recipes or insert them inside the narrative. What do you think?

     The building that blew up at work last month is still standing. The roof of the centre section has started to collapse and it is unknown if the foundation was not compromised.

     I just heard tbe door unlock. Our Jr. Loin Fruit has just come home from dinner at friends. At the Wayward Inn we made a spiral cut ham, mashed potatoes, roasted yams, string beans with shallots and red peppers. After supper our Sr. Loin Fruit assisted my Better Half in building three different wife savers for breakfast. One with meat, one with mushrooms and one vegetarian. 

     People have asked me what I want for Christmas and what I want no one can give me. I want time.  Either, more time to complete all the things I want or to go back in time so I can make sure I get everything done. I'm looking at my own mortality and with tbe passing of the Senior Sage - who I can't get back for Christmas either - my days are numbered. My bones creak more, it is more difficult to get up off of the floor and I'm finding myself more irritable. And the Beer Flu lock downs are wearing everybody down too. 

     L'il Sis made the drive from Cowtown to the Sage's. It took her two days as there was a pile up on The Pass. It was better for her to stay the night than drive it in the dark when it re-opened.

     Happy Wrestling Day. The day when morons decide to fight their way through crowds of other idiots to save a few bucks on shit they probably don't even need. 

     It is miserable here in The Valley. Temperatures in the negative and blowing snow. You'd think you were back on the Lone Prairie. 

     Well, that's about it Dear Readers. Take care of yourself and stay safe.
