Using that extra day wisely

So far, the holiday weekend is working out well. I've been busy trying to take care of all my usual chores, as well as enjoying the weekend.

I have spent some time volunteering. Thankfully, this can occur at home, as I read over stuff and review it for continuing education credit. It's something new and exciting.

We've taken Bubba on his fried chicken quest. Since he's inherited a genetic proclivity for these crispy birds (from his MD grandpa, no less) and there are all sorts of new (and older) restaurants really advertising. At our latest stop, we found out there's actually a fried chicken festival coming up, so we know where we'll be eating in a couple of weeks.

I've still got my usual chores, but with the pretty weather and fun of the Fourth of July, it's been enjoyable lately. Having another day to celebrate is also a good thing, too.

Stay tuned...

Blasts from the past

I get a message on a professional network I'm on from my former boss. Didn't even know he was still around. After that, I managed to catch up with a few other coworkers, too.

Then I read this story about Mr. A. on Grumpy's blog.

Reminds me of that song, "Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days."



Enjoy the weekend, all, wherever you spend it.
