I cannot tell you how great this sun feels!

The morning started with a bit of a fog over the river but has cleared quickly and dramatically. Of course, as soon as I began typing this post the sun went behind the clouds but still, the sun, when it peeks, feels awesome!

I am currently listening to replay of The Daily Show, a program I have NEVER watched or listened to, because of a battle between the host and a TV money guy, Jim Cramer. The host of this show, which, by the way, is on the "comedy" channel, is pretending to be knowledgeable about many things. Many folks have fallen for it, and use this program to get their "news" of the day. Yikes! It would be like considering Jay Leno's monologue as being the real deal of news. I say this about Stewart based upon what I have heard from others rather than personal observation, my own disclaimer. At least he (Stewart) admits to being a snake-oil salesman. As I opened the video, there was a warning that it is unedited---what? I wonder if it is necessary to get "rough" when having such a discussion...These type of shows serve as a diversion from the actual matters of the day, taking the focus from where it needs to be.

Since Debbie and I did not make all the stops on our Outreach calls the other night, I am going to finish them today. There are also Ladies' Group Minutes to be typed up and reports to be filed in the binder...which I just love doing...filing...ugh!!! I am also supposed to meet with Louise from Art Guild regarding our mentoring new members. This is so no one falls through the cracks on our roster and misses our meetings. We want them all to feel welcome, new and existing members!

Now the sky is full of clouds and looks like it might rain. Joanne thought it might do that today and this would be better since tomorrow is the River Run Race in Jacksonville. Some of our newer members are in the race, the ones we went to lunch with on Sunday and we are hoping they have decent weather for the Run. Sometimes a former member, Ed, from Winston-Salem, comes down for the Race and I am wondering if we will see him on Sunday. It is always such a wonderful treat to see his family and him when they come for the Run!
