As before, I slept like a rock last night. It's that combination of cool (cold) nights and a comfortable environment.
Molly has had a touch of sinitus, so she's taken a few "sick days". That means another great "Molly breakfast" when I awaken this morning around 9:00AM. A little coffee, some breakfast...CNN and the morning newspaper...very laid-back and relaxing.
Around 1:00AM or so, I head back to Barnes & Noble's Wi-Fi to catch up on emails, pay a few bills, and post some blog entries. That completed, I stop for a quick lunch at Pei Wei (the "informal" chain owned by P.F. Changs). No...it's not "authentic" Asian, but it's mighty good...particularly the "Dan Dan Noodles" in the Beijing style.
Then...back to Ed and Molly's to relax for the afternoon and wait for tonight's bowl game...the GMAC Bowl pitting Central Michigan and Troy. Ed lets me read one of his poems...a multi-part, multi-style one based on the "Spoon River Anthology". It's good...very good, in fact...several pages incorporating rhyme, prose and other styles to tell a story set out over many years.
For dinner, Molly whips up her "Mexican Spaghetti"...Rotel tomatoes/chiles, mushroom soup, green pepper, onion, ground chuck, grated cheddar, and spaghetti mixed together and baked in a casserole...it's really good...particularly washed down with a few glasses of Portuguese wine from the Douro.
The GMAC Bowl turns out to be a pretty good game, with the outcome uncertain until late in the 4th Quarter...CMU wins. By halftime, Molly's sacked out, Ed's asleep on the sofa, and I'm nodding off. But Ed and I are awake for the end of the game before heading off to sleep...late.
