Mid-morning. You both had breakfast and were
reading the Sunday paper when Carol realized she needed a few more items from
the store and money from the bank. You stopped at the bank and are now at
Kroger’s on Mason-Montgomery Road for bakery bread, Kleenex and other items.
0848
hours. A light gray blanket of cloud but it is warmer than yesterday. The flag
is flying straight out at times, and the weather may be worse for us north of
Cincinnati. These little notes don’t mean much in themselves but by writing
down trivia such as this I find I am more consciously aware of the day to day.
This is not a bad thing, particularly considering the alternative. I read the
first part of the sports page today and the article by Paul Draughty focuses on
how the ‘Republic of Cincinnati’ does not really belong with The Ohio State
University and their Buckeyes, which some here call ‘Bucknuts’. This
is true, as he says, ‘Cincinnati doesn’t really give a damn about the Buckeyes
and their hopes to win the first national playoff for the national
championship.’ I hope OSU beats Oregon, but alas, I am not the fan I once
was. It might be fun to watch the game at 8:30 tomorrow night on ESPN though. My
central Ohio roots are kicking in. Many good times of my youth were spent
watching Ohio State and the Cleveland Browns.
Nothing wrong with good sports and good
times, boy. – Amorella
0956
hours. We are home from having the car washed at Mike’s on Fields Ertel Road.
The blue car was mostly white from treated roads and snow squalls on Friday. We
won’t use it this week.
Evening.
Carol is watching the Golden Globes. You wrote, “A tribute
to the French -
"La plume est plus forte que l'epee,’"on
your Facebook page almost without thinking. – Amorella
2021
hours. I looked up the spelling; the line looks better in French. I saw the
crowd in Paris on the news tonight. My spirit is aroused by such
a sight.
