Well good morning Pixlbit, how are you on this fine Monday morning? Currently it’s a bit breezy here in Southern California, and we have below normal temperatures, which is always a good thing. I mentioned to a friend how funny it is that in December we are wearing sweaters, and complaining about how cold it is outside, but the same temp in May, and we are roaming about in shorts and a t-shirt. I walked outside earlier this morning in basketball shorts, and a basketball jersey and wasn’t cold. Anyways I shook off that pesky weekend cold that hit me on Thursday and all the bad parts of it hit around Friday. By Sunday the only thing I could complain about was that I couldn’t breathe out of my nose. I passed the time playing a bunch of tablet games, and when I was feeling better I threw in a couple of console games.
