Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy in a Construction Zone
“What the heck is all this mess?” “I don’t know, Little One, but I suspect the Boss has been watching a do-it-yourself video.” “This trench is all filled with water. That can’t be right.” “I would agree. Where is the Boss anyway?” “I don’t know, but it looks like a lot of dirt that needs […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day, and last week, we heard Cortez say he would throw out a body an hour until his safe passage to the airport demand is met. He gave our team an hour before the first body. That at least gave Larry and company some time to figure out a move. […]
