Awake: 6:57am sleep 6+21 frost, then sunny overnight @ Seattle, WA.
Katrina got up @ 8:45am & took Coco with her for a (30+) min run. Coco always looks happier after returning from a good run with Katrina.
Meanwhile, I walked about (4) blocks one way to the nearest hardware store: "Five Corner's Hardware Co" & purchased a Ball Tank Kohler for the running toilet upstairs. Hmm, wrong type. My 2nd round-trip walk was successful; I had to do a little adjusting & trimming on the Korky Red Flapper but the fix should last a long time. However, my guarantee is only good until we leave town.
Then Zack drove us to the Nick condo where we changed to Nick's mini-van & motored to the Washington Park Arboretum, which, in 2009, has been celebrating their (75th) year anniversary. The day was cool with a slight breeze but we were dressed for the occasion, plus the sun peeking thru the trees & bushes helped a little. We followed Jerry's leadership on many of the paths. Our walk lasted @ least (1.5+) hrs.
Back @ Nick's condo, we gabbed a short while & then K & I walked to St. Anne's Catholic Church for 5:00pm vigil Mass. One extreme to another; tonight the big church had less than (100) attendees present vs. the overflow crowd on Christmas Eve. Maybe some church goers got tipped off & we didn't; the church's boiler failed & there was no heat to be had. That was the coolest Mass we've ever attended!
Next, using both autos, we returned to Zack's place for a dinner of: fresh tuna steaks, fruit salad & a mixed salad, & brown rice. Tonight's entertainment, a movie called: "UP." An animated film that was a little sad to begin with, but as time went on, the sadness decreased & the adventures increased until it had a very happy ending. Jerry was delighted.
Lights out: 11:19pm.

Mr. Kirsch,
It appears as if the second photograph that you have posted in this entry is not from the same day as the first.
What say ye?
Nick
