Goodbyes…

This is my friend Terri…. She works with me.  Except she works nights so we only see each other in passing for about an hour in the morning when I am not yet awake enough to carry on a conversation and she is too delirious from being up all night to care. She is leaving though to [...]

Around Old Town….

I had Wednesday off last week.  Obama may want to think about passing some sort of law which requires all employers to get Wednesday off and not allow employees to work more then 2 days in any given stretch.  Cari and I had a great time wandering around old town Alexandria.  It really was a [...]

Thunderstorm Tee-Ball

We spent the rainy evening at our Nephew’s (Nick) Tee-Ball game last night. It was definitely an interesting experience.
