If it’s Monday … well, really only every other Monday, I spend my late afternoon and evening hanging out with the Goldpebbles. Heather has Select Board and Jed has Health Board. Select Board is not supposed to start until 6:30 pm, but often they have an Executive Session beginning at 5:30 pm. And that is the time that Jed must be at the Health Board meeting. So, I plan to arrive at 5 pm, conjure up or heat up something already prepared for dinner, and stay until Jed gets home sometime between 8 and 9 pm. Heather often doesn’t get home until 10 or 11 or even later. I love having the time with the boys, so I jump at the chance to help out. Unfortunately, Sam now has whatever Ollie had over the weekend. So far, Jonah has escaped it. He is continuing to play ice hockey with friends down on the pond every minute he can. Maybe all that time on the ice is keeping him healthy.
There is a gale warning for the Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound, and Buzzards Bay that is in effect until 7 pm tomorrow night. Today, beginning late afternoon, there we had winds blowing 15 to 25 knots with higher gusts offshore. So, it is a bit blustery out there tonight. We are supposed to get another dusting of snow overnight tomorrow night. Hopefully it is not enough to cancel a planned field trip to the Harvard Museum of Natural History on Wednesday. We shall see.
