Getting Out

Didn't post yesterday; I was doing a bunch of things, got busy, and then went to bed.  Not sleep, mind you, as I tossed and turned for much of the night; I think it was after 3 AM when I finally slept-slept, and of course I was up at 7, so... I wasn't feeling it before, but am now.  Oi.  Not sure why but it was not fun last night. I am not exhausted by the winning, if you will.  Honestly, I think most Trump voters cannot be displeased by what they are seeing, and for all of the hand-wringing about tariffs, they have yet to occur.  I am skeptical that hitting China will be anything but popular to many Americans, and hell, even getting booed by the Canadians isn't going to hurt Trump politically, in my opinion.

Meeting after work, then a haircut, and as I had decided by then that I did not want to cook, I went to Barocco in Lakewood.  I think I have been to the Crocker Park one, but had not been here... anyways, it was good -- bit spicy, and my digestive system let me know it -- but I am not sure it was $35 good (with tax and tip). Of course, nothing is nowadays, but...interesting.  I also managed to finish the book I was working on -- up to six for the year.  I do need to read more, and watch some movies on the National Film Registry, and go through some links.  Maybe this weekend?  I have plenty of stuff to do, but there is nothing that says I cannot put some time in on those items.

I cranked up the heat a bit tonight -- not that I am worried about freezing pipes but you can never be too sure -- but man is it cold.  This stretch is like the second or third we have had this year, and while I do not think we have been too bad snow-wise, it does seem that the temperatures have been lower and worse this year compared to those for a while.  I will not make the joke about global warming, but it does make me wonder if people will say this winter has been worse when I am not exactly sure that it is...
