Warm and Cozy with Family and Friends

This morning I went for my "medi-pedi" as my feet have been hurting, but the doc looked them over and found nothing major amiss so I carry on. The feet do feel nice now, though. I then drove 90 minutes to my brother's house in NJ for a visit and a pre-birthday lunch, then 15 minutes west to the annual reunion of my college frat buddies (co-ed service fraternity). Lots of fun as we recounted our plans for retirement in England's south coast to various friends, but as the lunch and subsequent pot luck weren't exactly agreeing with me I opted to leave after a couple hours and head back home. We got slammed at the GWB entrance, my main reason for not wanting to travel back from NJ on a Saturday afternoon/evening, but otherwise not a bad drive, and we came home to find that the landlord has finally turned on the heat, so it was lovely coming back to a cozy house after the outdoor chill. Tomorrow we shop and watch baseball (alas, looks like the Tampa Bay Rays are surging again) and football and other such TV while we declutter some more.
