Feels great if you’re sitting in the sun.
Pretty chilly everywhere else.
But, you’ll sit through that if you enjoy baseball. February baseball.

Fortunes come with deadlines
We had Chinese tonight from our favorite little place in town. And of course there were fortune cookies, so here we are.
I like when your table’s fortune cookies fit in a theme. That seems to somehow validate the concept. But here’s the thing:
Even with leap year, this cookie is on the clock.
We’ll see, and I’ll let you know.

Pics from the weekend
A friend was sick and complaining on social media. I leaped to the rescue! With milk and chocolate sauce.
She looked pretty good when I dropped it off at her place, though …
Autumn shows off the rally hat and rally sunglasses ensemble at the baseball stadium:
We gave it a try, and if anyone asks I did not invent the rally sunglasses:
Aubie doesn’t wear sunglasses, so he made it work with Upside Down Batman Goggles:
(I did invent those.)
We are painting. Well, we hired painters. Allie is helping:
At least we don’t have to pay The Black Cat for her painting services. She has paint on her tail.
We took my mother-in-law to the Irish pub tonight. I could go there a lot more than we do, actually. And I want to take their poster home with me:
Which is one of the reasons I took a picture of it. That’s actually a poster of which I’d buy a reproduction. Ordinarily I’d only want the authentic stuff, but that’s a good one. Ireland was amazing, having a poster of it in the office would be a nice reminder. Maybe a motivation to get back.

Leaving Savannah
I don’t know how you rank signs on stairs, but this is way up there, if you ask me:
We finally got the chance to dine at The Olde Pink House. Delicious and worth the wait:
The thing about Savannah is, no matter the time of year, things there are always in bloom:
Back home tonight, though I could stay away for some time. Oh, and I forgot this video about yesterday:

Hanging out at Forsyth Park
Forsyth Park is full of history. It was created in the 1840s, and was, in a way, an original part of the future plans of Savannah. French and American soldiers camped on the site during the Revolutionary War around bloody fighting in the town. The French started building siege trenches there and, then just two generations later, the Georgia home guard drilled on the park during the Civil War. The town’s Confederate monument is there.
This is where The Yankee I visit every time we come to Savannah. We have a tree. We got engaged there and took some of our wedding portraits there. It is a beautiful place and has a lot of history, and contemporary vitality, too.
