Now down to business.  I have no idea why I was bundling up for temperatures that would top out, and this makes it worse, in the high 60's and lower 70's.  I used to beg for that kind of weather.  My normal "knock around" clothes are exactly as Judy put it - a tee and shorts.  What happened, I don't know.  
I am even opening myself for more ribbing.  I turned on the heat.  And I pushed the thermostat to 72.  I don't usually do that kind of thing.  Usually G is the only one around here with a long sleeved shirt and trousers.  So go ahead - laugh at this silly Texan who cratered under this last front.  I deserve it.
I am really finally a firm believer in the six degrees of separation.  There have several surprises of how close to me some people are.  When G and I met, it was his high school physics teacher who had married the girl who would become my Matron of Honor.  That relationship got even closer - my aunt, who was 18 years older than my mother and I never met, had married into the guy's family.  Intricate I know - it does make sense the way it was written.  But I my head still swirls with the closeness.
Today I was talking to Son.  He told me the youngest child of my best friend (I guess - haven't heard from her in months) lives close to him.  So, let's see how many of them are out there.  A guy that was in Daughter's graduating class and we used to go to church with the family for one - he is up the street.  Across the major street is (and here we go again) my Matron of Honor's son lives there.  Now this newest one.  
I would think living in the fourth largest city, things would dilute a bit.  But out here in the northwest part of the city and into the county, it is like a small town.  And things still make me wonder.
Peace be with you.

it got down to 37 the other night and I just put on a sweater and threw another blanket on...did roast a chicken so cheated a little.
This weather has been crazy. I've turned on the a/c and heat - all in one day! You know what's weird, I go to my hometown of 18K and don't see anyone I know when I'm out shopping, and yet when I'm shopping here I see people who know people I know. There was a girl at the Pizza Hut with a name tag, and her last name was my maiden name. A very rare name and I knew immediately we were related. We just had to backtrack and see where the connection was.
