This will be a quick post. I am going to attempt to get in a morning walk before the rain comes. It looks like I'll be around most of the day as I got caught up on the the reports yesterday.

OK, everyone who has already done their Christmas shopping and decorations raise your hand.

hmmmm, uh huh, I see...dang...I'd better get a move on.

Gotta run for now. But, you stay right where you are. I'll be back.

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