Well, as usual, the weather people hereabouts have ramped up their forecasts prognosticating snow! Good night, you'd think the end of the world was upon us the way they carry on. As I type this there is a snow shower but all it's doing is peppering the deck with a few white flakes. Now the real issue is the cold. Serious cold. The lows tonight are expected to be in single digits with windchills over the next two days of -10 to -15.
Linda and I are prepared. We went shopping this morning for fresh fruits and veggies and bought a very nice, plump deep red filet of wild caught sockeye salmon. If I manage to get up the courage I'll grill it; if not I'll bake it. Right now I'm leaning toward the grill (less clean-up). I also made a batch of goetta. It's finishing up on the stove and should be ready for morning breakfast. I added some extra seasoning this time around because the last batch was watery and bland. I used some higher quality oats this time also.
Matt, Ciara and Aiden are back in Charlotte and Linda and I are in withdrawal, again. There is a birthday coming on 2/28 so we should see the little guy again then.
I think Linda and I are finally over our colds. Just to be on the safe side I'll wait until Saturday before going out for a run. If the cold persists I might have to wait until Monday. I'm not taking any chances this year. I've already been sick twice once before Christmas with a nasty virus and now after New Years. Hopefully I've had my quota.
