Cruisin'

There’s something very different about this morning. It’s actually quite cold. 38 degrees and falling. That would explain the cat anxiously waiting for me at the back door and then racing into the house once I cracked the door. I’m one of those perpetually ‘comfortable’ people and I’m rarely affected by temperature swings; hot or cold, it’s all the same to me. But, last night I turned the thermostat to HEAT and set it for 72, just to take the chill off. Aging? Maybe, but I’m not ready for a comforter and slippers yet. Today I will be wearing shorts and a t-shirt as usual. With Croc’s – no socks. Long pants will have to wait till late November.

I just checked the weather for San Francisco as we are heading down there tomorrow for a cruise on the SS Jeremiah O’Brian, a WWII Liberty ship. My good friend, Alex, is coming down today from Vashon Island in Washington and we will drive to the Bay Area early on Sunday morning. Since this is Fleet Week in San Francisco, we’ll have plenty of photo opportunities during our cruise of the bay. And the weather will cooperate – low 70’s and clear is the forecast. OK, since it’s a cruise, I’ll put long pants on. But just for the day.
