    Holly's got a marathon to recover from.  She doesn't have time to be starting no threads.

     

    Big week for me as I finally visit a sports doc on Friday to get some advice on this nagging knee injury. [Cancelled.]

            Tramps - I didn't see this one Sunday night when I posted mine, but how thoughtful of you!  We can have two this week, I am perfectly okay with that...

            Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

              Sorry.  I probably shouldn't have messed with your system.

              Be safe. Be kind.

                Not at all - you just had my back...
