Central time
I think we may have discovered the reason that people here are so nice -- Central Time.
I always thought that TV programming was delayed according to time zone so that the evening news aired at 11pm all around the country -- not so. Prime time programming begins at 7pm CST, so people who watch television at night are, in theory, getting to bed an hour earlier than we are out east. That's my discovery for the day. It may be a stretch, but an extra hour of sleep can make a lot of difference, and something makes people relaxed and friendly down here.
Ella continues to do well. She's on the home stretch of therapy for the week. We hear that Baltimore is a little slushy at the moment, so we're happy to have our sun and 50 degrees. My parents are flying down this afternoon to visit, and we're really looking forward to it. It's our first full weekend free of scheduled therapy and we're hoping to explore the city and show "Dammah" and "Dappah" around.
A number of people have asked about our apartment, so here's a photo of the living room. We have three bedrooms and two baths. It functions well, except for the smoke detector mounted directly above the gas fireplace. We can't use the fireplace without setting it off, and it's so high we'd need a ladder to reach it. I guess they're just making sure we're safe from a cozy night fireside.
