I’ll take it

11 Dec

An executive order from the President turned Christmas Eve into a paid holiday for federal employees this year.  This is usually the case in years when Christmas falls on a Tuesday.

cleaning out my closet

11 Dec

That’s it, a complete literal reading of the headline. No deep dark secrets, no intrigue, no symbolism, nor Eminem. Just a whole bunch of clothes that I no longer care to wear, or don’t fit any longer, getting put into bags and hauled off to the Goodwill Industries donation center. That, my dear readers, was […]
