Today in Naples we will have partly cloudy morning skies giving way to clear skies in the afternoon. There is a 30% chance for a thunderstorm developing in the late afternoon. The High today is 82F. and the Low tonight will be in the 60F. The Relative Humidity is 77% and the dew point is 54F. The Barometer is steady at 30.10. Our winds are North at 5mph. The sunrise came at 6:53am and will set this afternoon at 5:28pm.

I slept in well past sunrise this morning. Sherry was up long before me, making coffee and getting ready for the day.

No great news this morning. Sherry called North. The weather is brutally cold. Judy got off, but is having some car problems. We are all to pray, and keep our fingers crossed she and her brood escape to

Georgia safely. Jess and John survived their fishing trip on the river. John lost an expensive umbrella rig, and caught no fish. This is why it is referred to as fishing.

Other than this, there is no more news from the cold North Lands. I have not heard from Mary Carrice since she landed at Dullas on Wednesday. I am beginning to get concerned. I will try her again today, and hope for the best. I pray she is doing well.

I am getting told it is time to get back to work.

Well, not exactly a stellar day for Classic Glass Studios. This is probably the worst Naples we have ever had. The crowd was down 50% and sales were off 90+%. Jimmy and Connie had a good day, and a flat artist sold at $6500 original, so some folks did all right. We did not. On the high side, Mary text me to let me know she was OK and was at the Redskins game. That was great news! Additionally, Richard Sullivan stopped by the show to say hello, and to extend his condolences. Richard is the Director of Boulderbrook Productions, and is a good friend. It was good to see him, and pleasant to spend a few minutes visiting.

We closed the show at 5PM and were packed up and on the road by 7PM. Connie left the show early to go and fetch her Mother Marge at the airport, and bring her back to the show for pack up. It was wonderful to see her. She is such a nice lady.

We passed through a number of heavy thunderstorms on the way in. We were hoping for heavy rains in Palmdale, but not materialized. We arrived home at 8:30PM, and are preparing for bed. Easy week this week. No inventory to replace, so I suppose we will begin work on the commission we took this weekend. For now, it is time to clean up and get in the bed.
