Sorry I'm a couple minutes late serving up the pancakes . . . I wanted Tomkow to sweat it out trying to be first in line.

I hate to post and run, but Spotsy is spotsy. I have my first case of poison oak. It's nasty, but it could be worse . . . when it first started on my finger, I feared that I had been bitten by one of those legendary brown recluse spiders.

I'll be back tomorrow to catch up on reading, responding to messages, and to share my story of how I almost took an accidental bath in oil-based spar varnish. I'll just say that my hair is little bit shinier now.

Hope all is well with you.

Good Night All and God Bless
