Fast Money:  Comes at 1:00.

yoga

springtime

In January: 75 degrees today.

Oh yeah, and this on Fast Money:

good call!

You glad you didn't buy AMZN puts or calls ahead of earnings.

You run out of gas in the Prius on the way to Eats.  Second time.

Lawyers and accountants in the afternoon.

awaiting the day

When this sign reads: "Jesus the Wine Drinker," or "Jesus the Weedmaker."  You are not holding your breath.

going to seaside

uneventful

In almost every way.  You feed Nesta, with his newly (as of yesterday) shrunken neck.  Galina comes to clean.  Granola, strawberries and hazelnut milk for lunch.  Starbucks for breakfast (triple maciatto and bacon/gouda/egg sandwich.  You work at home most of the day.  Late afternoon you get a call from your mother lamenting that she's "lost the key to the safe."  (This is not the first time.)  She quizzes me with key questions: "how many are there?  Where are they?  Do you have one?"  (Two. You have one and Sandie does.  No.)

You ask if she's looked in her purse; she guarantees me she has.  Thoroughly.  I doubt it.  You hang up and within five minutes she's calling back saying she's found it in her coin purse, which was in her big purse.  

Uneventful.

tuesday

8:30 a.m., Jason, yoga.

eats

Lunch with Pamella.  It's still warm outside.

sunday

You watched the Falcons almost-lose their fourth playoff game in four years.  You also watched, for the dozenth time, Local Hero (whose soundtrack you love); it served as a good lead-in to Downtown Abbey.  With Pamella.

funeral

Yes, another one.  Sumrell's mother, who was for much of her life the organist at the chapel at Callaway Gardens.  Apparently, she could play.  You drive to Hamilton, GA for the service.  You take the scenic route on the way back and drove through Moreland, home of Lewis Grizzard.  The weather is gentle for winter: the sun in and out, temp in the high 60s .

all you want to do . . .

Is avoid the flu:



2012-2013 eclipses any of the previous six seasons, and it's still very early. Of course, it could be a year the viral hit peaks high but early, a la 2009-2010, or it could have a more traditional curve like 2007-2008. If it's the latter, a lot of people are going to get sick.

overcast warm humid

That would be outside -- also, mostly, in the yoga room you inhabited for 80 minutes this morning. You juiced/drank an apple/carrot/ginger with a touch of ACV this morning before yoga . . . a first (i.e., "eating" before class).

Lunch with your mother at Buckhead Diner -- not a first.  She: "They have the best crabcakes in the world."  Pay attention, class; word from a pro.  You go vegetarian in ongoing ragged attempt to reform your diet.  It was, as they say, all good.
