Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

A restful weekend and ready for the new week?

Good evening, JJ! A host of Active Duty - a cadre of Vets - attended AbnSarge's retirement. He was resplendent in Dress Blues. He was awarded, among other honors, the Legion of Merit, much deserved.

I was honored to stand with many active-duty soldiers of the Army and the Maryland ANG to honor AbnSarge on his retirement from a long and honorable career of faithful service to our Nation.

Thirty-three years in service to our Nation, numerous deployments to where the bullets fly and danger lies with every step you take.

God Bless him, God Bless all our serving troops, God Bless them good!

Good evening, Mac...congratulations on being able to attend AbnSarge’s retirement ceremony.

Is Mrs MacNessa feeling better today after her hard work painting?

Mrs. MacNessa is doing quite well - she enjoyed attending AbnSarge's retirement ceremony this afternoon and hob-nobbing with Mrs. AbnSarge. We have had the pleasure of dining with AbnSarge and Mrs. AbnSarge, which we hope to do again soon.

Salute, Command Sargent Major from an old Army guy!

Just don't wear any OD clothes in your retirement.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...are you ready for Marvelous Monday?

Was the choir a trio today?

You and Lynn-Dah doing well?

Mostly overcast and dark today, but overhead the sun has just come out.
