Keeping Warm

October 2, 2009

As noted a few days ago autumn/winter has arrived. Grey skies, drizzle and rain, and generally colder.

I know how to put on layers, that is the basis of what I wear to work everyday. After all, I challenge most to find a building where the HVAC is so finely tuned that the temperature is in a comfortable range throughout. (Of course this statement may be because I was the PM on building our office building, and if it is normal for buildings to be well balanced, then I did a poor job.)

I was well layered both of the last two nights in the 50 degree damp weather. Shirt, cardigan (light), fleece jacket, middle weight lined jacket, hat, long underwear and jeans. [Note that Carl was in a t-shirt and pants until at least the 7th inning both nights.] But today my throat has that cold air workout feeling and I am a bit tired. I know that keeping warm takes energy, so this is my excuse. Carl might argue that carrying all the extra clothes around is the real cause.

3 more home games in this homestand, and we are going to 2. The friend’s play won out for Saturday. And just so the Mariners don’t seem too lame duck, there is still a chance for them to move into 2nd place in their division. No wild card, but still bragging rights of a sort.
