Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be warm (near 80), breezy, sunny .... a lovely summery day! Too bad my boss won't let us work outside. :)
I got a few "little" things done last night, certainly not as much as I hoped. But, gradually, some energy seems to be returning. Or maybe it's just getting closer to Friday! LOL! Tonight ... unless I hear otherwise .... hopefully I'm going to get another Christmas tree. Since today is Jimmy's birthday, I think we'll go out to eat also. I probably won't get anything else done ... but the weekend is coming! :)
Today is "International Stuttering Awareness Day" ... "Anniversary - World's End Day".
Quotes of the Day:
"The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible."
-- David M. Ogilvy
"People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly.
-- Brendan Francis
