Good morning all. Paint, I love "Fire" by the Ohio Players. For years that was the Hell's Kitchen theme song, until two seasons ago.

The days start getting longer again in three weeks! I used to enjoy winter, it was a nice break from summer heat, but I guess I am getting old because it has definitely lost it's charm. It's no longer just an inconvenience, now it's dangerous and painful.

On Tuesday afternoon I had to run my little wife to the hospital, she spent Tuesday night there with a severe gut issue. Fortunately they managed to get it under control and I got to bring her home last night, but it was scary for 24 hours. I was having flashbacks to her stroke in October of 2021, when she spent a month in the hospital. And after all the time I have spent in the hospital and clinics this year, I am at my limit. I got behind at work because I missed a day, and am not in great shape to make up the time. I have RSV or bronchitis, coughing up a storm, weak, but no choice but to soldier-on. If I can get through the next three weeks, we are shutting down for a week after Christmas (yearly maintenance week) so I will have a week to rest, and get ready for 2023.

Throw another log on the fire, have a terrific day, my friends!
