2023 Day 112

Saturday April 22

It’s a cool 63° this morning. It’s almost a cloudless sky outside. There’s just a bit of a breeze blowing this morning.. lightly, just enough to make the leaves twinkle to the rising Sun.

It’s Saturday.. and I’m the only one up this morning. I’m sure this won’t last.. but then again, it is the weekend.

As the plumbers were bringing in the new water heater yesterday they had a bit of a surprise as they crossed paths with a small snake. It turned out to be a broadbanded water snake.. but excitement was evident in the actions of all of the participants. Snake included.

Ok.. I seem to be on a roll with 1972 songs and themes… Chicago… Twice in the early ’70’s I managed to get tickets to see Chicago at the old Coliseum in downtown Houston. I really liked the band back then. I think it was the fact they weren’t just guys with guitars and a drummer that appealed to me.

“Saturday in the Park” is a song written by Robert Lamm and recorded by the group Chicago for their 1972 album Chicago V. It was very successful upon release, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the band’s highest-charting single at the time, helping lift the album to No. 1.

Well, the backyard is full of sunshine now.. and I feel the need for another drink of coffee.. so, y’all have a great day and I’ll catch y’all on the other side..
