Awake: 7:05am     Temp 59     sleep 6+34   rain with wind, off & on.      overnight @ San Diego, CA.

Corinne called mid morning; we used our split cord to both hear & talk. She admits to a lot of snow (2 ft +) with more on the way. It's beginning to cramp her lifestyle we think. We spoke for (18) min & then she had other calls to make.

Another good day to stay mostly indoors here in San Diego, however, around mid afternoon, some of the clouds drifted away giving us periods of sunshine.

Late afternoon, K & I drove over to the Needle Craft Cottage where I twiddled my thumbs while Kathy talked with the owner about different aspects of needle pointing.  It sounded awfully complicated so I chose to listen to NPR on their cottage radio most of the time.  

From here, we drove less than a mile & attended the 5:30pm vigil Mass @ St. Bridget Catholic Church. We were delighted to listen to & sing with the choir group as they harmonized and echoed beautifully. They were accompanied by piano, guitars, and harmonica

After Mass, we drove to Ralph's Grocery store just a few blocks south & bought a few grapes & Matzos. Prices were somewhat higher @ Ralphs than we liked, so we stopped @ Von's a few blocks east & nearly finished our weekly grocery list.

Dinner: Clam chowder with oyster crackers, grapes & mandarin oranges.

Evening movie: "Fiddler on the Roof." We watch: 1/3^rd.

Lights out: 12:21am.
