Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.

Good morning everyboomie.
IT'S FRIDAY!! I've been waiting all week for the weekend.
There's only 4 ball games this weekend, and the Cowboys ain't in any of them.
At least we'll find out who they'll play in the next round.
I may be suicidal after the Super Bowl. Sooner if the Cowboys aren't in it.
I'm kidding.....
We've got a couple of days of sub freezing temps coming up.
I guess I'll just have to keep working on my body sculpting.
Have a happy day everyone.
