Just a note…

I realized last night that I work with big fat bigots.
I remembered today why I love Carey - she is goodness and love and trust rolled into one.
I found out the hard way that at 33 I can no longer eat Oh Henry on an overnight shift.
I am off to Chicago !

I had an eventful night tonight…
I spent the evening at Del’s watching the Dixie Chicks ‘Shut up and Sing’ and left around 2h30 am to go home.  As we were turning onto my street we saw a cab pulled over and a bunch of guys running - when we looked more closely we realized there [...]
