Grabbag Thursday
In the past couple of weeks, I've gotten back in touch with two erstwhile friends, which is nice: Mike and Carrie. It's nice to see them each back in the old email Inbox.

I would be classing up Chicago!

I've been writing back and forth with Don this morning about newspaper horoscopes. He likes to pick and choose between the Washington Post and the Express to see which ones he likes better, but I don't like either because they're invariably bad.

Hello! Mom, are you writing these things?
