Wednesday nights are usually a free night!! We print the checks mid afternoon, and then we can relax...no heavy duty stuff til hopefully the new week. (That’s not working out lately.)

For the last 3 weeks I’ve planned to do a couple threads ahead and all three nights I’ve fallen asleep at the computer.

So....tonight I’m hoping to actually read some of the FR news stories.

BTW...my desk is quite that bad, but.....LOL!

How is work going for you? Keeping you busy? d:o)

Any piggies lately?

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

You are right...I didn’t hear anything good on the news today.

Hope you get SOME sunshine for the fair.

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!
