Thankful to My Friend Dr. Michelle Farrell for My Penzey Spices Full of Love, Hope, and Meaning. Looking Forward to Getting Them Into My Food

The temperatures warmed up. I got office work done at my parents in the morning, ran errands for them in the afternoon (as they napped), and managed to stop to get them chicken pho and shrimp pho, which I think they enjoyed. Something about the spring forward loss of sleep made me crave one more bout with the universal stomach balm. 

Karal and I also got a long walk in, brushed her down (she's shedding like a fiend), and played some ball. In the evening, I caught the Siena/Fairfield game at night, and began thinking about my Penzey spices back home and getting them to work in all the outdoor cooking to come.

Hoping for a beautiful world on my back porch and with the summer grill.

Looks like two more days of sunshine before several days of rain and a return to snow. I want to take advantage of those days before the temperatures drop...need the Vitamin D and dread the inevitable that winter is not over. I am calling it now. 

Now, I need to think about another day in Syracuse. Mondays are so much better when they come without meetings and don't require courses to teach. I shall enjoy the time to catch up on grading.
