AFC title game will be on in 20 minutes. It'll be hard to cheer for the
Jets, but I'ma a Bills fan and I gotta root for the AFC east.
Got a family recipe corned beef about to go into the oven. Our own blend
of pickling spics, sugar, salt and cinnamon, aged for 12 days. 180 F for 35
minutes a lb. We used a 5.5 lb brisket with the nice tip 1/4" fat. yum
yum. If this were summer ( Toronto) I'd be smoking it outside today to make
pastrami.

Sunny Sunday afternoon; 79(F) outside. Birds chirping, doves calling,
an occasional bark from one of the neighbors' dogs, and in the distance,
the sound of light traffic. Occasionally an airplane.

Yikes! Where do you both live where it's that unbearably hot in
January? I only ask so I can avoid that part of the world like the
plague. I'll sit here happily with my 30F outside/50F inside, thank
you.

Cloudy Monday afternoon here, 92F outside, going for 100F today.

LOL. In the 50s, overcast, our creek is running near full with normal
rushing water sounds. No traffic sounds, no airplane sounds, no need
for headphones. Cardinals, bandit birds, a funny little brown bird
that has the shape of a flying golfball, a couple of squirrels trying
to avoid joining family in the freezer. Gorgeous green mosses and
reddish brown fungus on the dead tree branches.

low 50's today here in RI, but very rainy. Promises to be mid 40's and
clear the rest of the week.
Many cardinals, purple & gold finches, chickadees & tit mouses with a
few red-bellied and downy woodpeckers, but no pileated. Haven't seen
one of them since we left TN about 10 years ago.
Oddly, we still have juncos that tend to arrive for the first frost and
leave around the last frost with robins arriving this week. The two
tend not be around at the same time.
Music wise, we started a Sirius satellite radio subscription in early
December. One of the best investments we ever made. It's on a good 8
hrs/ day. Hardly any time for TV anymore.
