Good morning everyboomie.
Weekends come and weekends go. No problem you can still spend the week with Joe.
On current events, and politics, I have little to say, but if you'll share yours, I'll share my day.
If you don't then I'll share mine anyway, so you may as well.
If I'm not sharing my thoughts with folks here at Gameboomers, then I'm just walking around talking to myself.
I'm trying real hard to reach out and share my feelings with my dogs, but I keep getting that head tilt, and look of "Are you saying it's lunch time, or time to go to the park, because we don't want to hear anything else come out of your lips?" "Food, or Park?"
At least I have more important matters to contemplate, like when I'm going head hunting again, and where.
Well....There's also football.
Have a happy day everyone.
joe
