DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Some clouds this morning
will give way to generally sunny skies
for the afternoon. High 54F.
Winds light and variable.

~ Tonight... Partly cloudy this evening
followed by mostly cloudy skies and
a few showers after midnight.
Low 39F. Winds light and variable.
Chance of rain 40%.

Looks like we'll have a wintery mix show up on Tuesday.
Some of our northern neighbors, who really don't need it,
might get more than us, unfortunately.

Ok, I'm back in the office and
even though I was only off 4 days
I was not ready to come back yet.
Hopefully, today won't be a demanding day
so that I can get reports that are normally done
on Friday done today.

I trust everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving?
Except maybe publius who was all by himself(?)
but none-the-less cooked something to eat!
and stayed in FR.

But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

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

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM


SEE THE ABOVE HEROES LIST

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

Umpfh! Good mornin', Early Birds!
Can't get that other eye open!
Another pretty day here...how boring!
All of you expecting snow...stay warm!
And enjoy the time when you get off and go home!
Be careful on those slick roads!
((((hugs))))

Oh, it wasn't that bad, Beachie. It's the norm for me. I'll do something similar for Christmas and New Years, and I have my own music rituals for those days.

For example, on Christmas Eve at the Canteen, I'll be posting Christopher Hogwood's 1982 period-instrument version of Handel's "Messiah" just as I did last year. You can really "waller" in that music during the holidays. I'll be posting various other bits of classical Christmas music on that long weekend.

On December 22, my 15th annivsary at FR, I'll be re-posting a short story about James Madison that I posted years ago. I'll ping the Canteen DJ's along with my Federalist Papers ping list for that one.

Life isn't so bad when you're alone but have FR.

I know you are LOOOONG gone, but hope you had a good Monday.

Mine has been non-stop issues. Lots of people said they got paid the wrong rate, but the person who input their time didn’t indicate a rate different from their default rate. I’ve been typing retros all morning. And it seems I’m getting more of the same for this past week, which I can correct tomorrow.

Happy Monday evening! ((HUGS))
