T G I F!!!

A chilly morning to start but warming up a bit. A nice fall day.

If all goes well and I get my work done, I will be leaving work a little early...want to get a head start on my weekend.

Nothing much planned except try to get a little R&R.

Do you realize that next week is the last week of October? Where has it gone? And, summer? Does anyone remember this past summer? Zoom! Gone!

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is OPEN

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM
