Dealing with the Thick-Headed Contractor
The remodel next door continues to plod forward. It’s been going on close to two months now. That’s two months of being awakened each morning by a diesel truck engine and two months of having the shutters in my room closed because I’m not interested in looking at said truck all day.

Missy J. Tries a New Look
Yesterday as I was walking into the grocery store my cell phone chirped and this came through with a message from Missy J. indicating she and her family were in Fredericksburg, Texas shopping. (I did ask for permission to blog this, by the way.)

This Week’s Poll – Early
Turkey consumption was the clear winner at 78 percent confirming that the traditional dead bird holiday remains intact.
