Since we've no place to go
Programming note! The kids have school today and tomorrow – for what reason, I don’t know, but that’s another story – then are out until January 4. So between that and the rapidly dwindling number of clips, I think I’m going to take a break as well. I’ll pop in tomorrow, and maybe I’ll do next Monday as a weekend wrap up, we’ll see.
In the meantime, enjoy National Hamburger Day, and National Ribbon Candy Day, and National Kiwi Fruit Day.
