free drinks at dinner will allow for some illogical ideas about playing again the next morning

The after dinner events are where the hijinks really get going.  The liquor is flowing and some folks do get hammered and then show up late the next day, which results of course in fines.

We have "Kangaroo Court" each morning which is one of the really fun things at this gig.  Showing up late is ... ill advised.  

Fortunately, for me, I go with my wife and we stay at the Hampton.  The hijinks are at the campus where the players stay during Spring Training.  I went one night to see what it was all about, it wasn't as wooly as I had heard, but it was pretty wooly.

Downstairs HVAC is still off.  It dropped unto the 20s last night, it's still tolerable inside.  Our bedroom has a separate unit upstairs which is working.  Heat rises though.

My wife talked me into buying a "fake fireplace" a couple years back.  To me, it's a complete waste, we almost never turn it own, and the appearance is fakey fake.  BUT ... it has a resistance heat function which I am now using in the middle floor to provide a modicum of heat.

My office here I am now is on the bottom floor and it's cool here but "OK".  Dude said he would come tomorrow to flush the system and get back on line.

It's sunny today but 32°F.
