Sangamon Digest

Monday morning in Springfield shows up clear and a little damp around the edges — forty-six degrees, calm air, and windshields that need a minute before they cooperate. The forecast promises a 74° afternoon, which means the jacket you grabbed at 7 a.m. will spend lunch draped over a chair.

Out west, a lot of households spent part of Sunday evening rediscovering candles before CWLP had everyone back by 8:25. Commuters near Stevenson Drive get a week of orange cones and fresh asphalt, Memorial’s Mammogram Mondays begin today, Springfield High volleyball is home tonight, and the White Sox take a 1–0 series lead into Cleveland at 4 p.m. — roughly when the office clock starts moving slower anyway.

So here’s to clear Monday skies, reset microwave clocks, patient drivers in work zones, and one more round of Capital Word before the first meeting. Springfield doesn’t need a parade for Monday morning. It just needs sunshine, a working coffee maker, and maybe a radio tuned to the ballgame by late afternoon.
