Sometimes you have to obey life’s little slow-down warnings.

Gut Erev Shabbes, Mooch. Hope your proofing and reviewing went well last night.

Me, I’m working on some extra sleep, or at least trying to get to bed a little earlier.

The message was loud and clear this week. My Dad came down with the flu yesterday, and my Mom today. Lots of Lysol. d:o)

It's coincidental, I suppose, but I tried my hand at making crab cakes last night. They turned out tasty but my batter flattened out so they became crab pancakes; nothing like the picture perfect Crab Cake.

Think I'll stick to boiled crabs and beer in the future.

Much better, but am falling asleep at the switch. Waiting for a music issue to play out, then I’m off for bed. I might manage 6 hours sleep....that would be novel. LOL!

And how are you doing?

Yes, last week-end was a wash-out. It hit 72 here yesterday. I had to mow.

We need a wash-out. Are you skipping spring and going directly to summer? Mowing???? We are greening nicely.
