Happy Labor Day Weekend!

There is just something special about a 3 day weekend – its just plain luxurious. Come Sunday, you realize that “Wow! I actually have another day off and it feels like Saturday”. Monday kinda stinks though because it is really Sunday. Another bonanza – a short work week. It is really fantastic on many different… Continue Reading

Fun Weekend

So after a busy work week (I barely made it home on time one or two nights – one I came home at 8:30pm), we were going upstate to my in-laws house in Pound Ridge, NY for a barbecue. The Kings were invited – this is the family that they have been friends with for… Continue Reading

Today’s Daily Forecast starts off like this: “Strange forces are on the prowl as a powerful New Moon in the sign of Cancer approaches exactitude.” Great – I… Continue Reading
