Good morning, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Hope you have a great day! Crossed the office door this morning at 6:36. A restful sleep last night. Hope everything is going well with you!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good morning, Tom! Is the game in Chi or in DC? Is the Kenyan-in-Chief tossing out the first ball?

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities

Geez, can't decide which of the photos are my favorite this morning...
they're all so good.

~ Today...Sunny. Highs in the lower 60s.
North winds 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight...Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 30s.
Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

Appears that we are in a dry spell right now. No rain in sight.

Making Z Zoup
A sprinkle of this...a splash of that...

Afternoon temperatures on Mars
go up to about 80 degrees in some areas,
and down to -190 degrees F at night.

Statistically, UFO sightings are at their greatest number
during those times when Mars is closest to Earth.
(hmmm, they trying to tell us something?)

Most roofs in the Washington, D.C. area are designed
to withstand at least 15 to 20 pounds of snow per square foot.

The first envelopes with gummed flaps were produced in 1844.
In Britain, they were not immediately popular
because it was thought to be a serious insult
to send a person's saliva to someone else.

Alrighty then...I was off yesterday for a family thing.
Will try to catch up on pings throughout the day
but I do have some catching up at work to do as well.

So, let me make my rounds.
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....

Opening day here in Chicago: we’re expecting snow ( it’s snowed more often than not for the CUBS’s home opener).

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Beachy!

Happy Thursday - Almost there!

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. We will be in the 80º range again today. New kitchen cabinets are installed and look great!

Bill Murray is tossing out the first ball, & singing “Take Me Out To the Ball Game” for the 7th inning stretch.

The CIC is a fan of the little league team on the south side, the white sux.
