Good morning my 2014 warriors. It's a chilly day in December. The temperature is about normal for this

time of year. I stayed up too late last night so I skipped the sunrise again this morning and took a cab into work since I was running very late and

Back to Work in the Afternoon
which was extremely helpful. They just trickled in about 3 of them didn't show up. Work ended pretty smoothly. I managed to catch the train to 15th St. and now I'm walking up 15th St. to the Starbucks
it's now 5:41 PM. As I was going to the Starbucks, the folks were leaving. I was 20 minutes late. I fixed this blog and Larry just told me the room is PACKED!! Got to fly!!
Well I think it went well tonight. We had a good discussion amongst folks. I talked about today's conversations
at the funeral. For me it was just except or handle "unsolicited advice". It's 9:04 PM and I am waiting for the
48 which is supposed to be @ 15th and Arch at 9:06 PM. It's pretty cold out but it's not terribly windy so it's
it is bearable.  It is currently 34° outside and I think I see the 48 bus approaching now. I'm looking forward
to getting home and getting my hands warm.came home took a nice shower soon and ended my day.
