Another Friday with the distinction of the first Friday for 2018. This one came pretty quick given the fact that last Monday was a holiday. I don’t know about you, but this Friday does not feel any different from last Friday. I guess it would be pretty unreasonable to expect to wake up in […]
“You called Boss?” “Yes, Lucy. It’s time for your morning walk.” “Hold on, Boss. Have you been out there today? “Yes. It is a little chilly.” “Pops. Sixty degrees are a little chilly.
