Good morning everyboomie.
Well I didn't see any of those 8.5 minute old sun rays today. It's been overcast all day.
It was a super day anyway.
I went out and skipped all over my neighborhood with a basket of rose petals, spreading them around, and singing "the hills are alive with the sound of music."
People didn't seem to mind at all, except for that grizzled, unshaven, fat, bald guy two blocks over who threw his beer at me, and then got in his truck and chased me all the way back home, calling me a frigging fairy.
I won't go past his house again.
No Christmas card either.
How was your day?
Welcome to the weekend everyone.
