Morning All - nice crisp, fall morning. Pretty. Wakes you up! More rain tomorrow - I can feel my feet webbing together...
I celebrated 15 years at my job (shoot me now!) and they gave me money (yeah!!) and a beautiful floral arrangement (which is killing my allergies). Not to shabby. Hmm, now, how to spend that money....
Terry - sounds like a plan - I'll email you. Glad to hear Lee's in a room - now prayers for the road to recovery.
Everyone have a good day - later. -

Interesting stuff on Toto Marino. My aunt used to live in the house his sister, Katie, was the landlady of on 20th St. She was one old, mean battleax. She'd come and stand in the hall when she heard us and then holler at us to take our hands of the walls, don't slide down the banister, don't make so much noise. She was miserable. I can still picture her - scary!
My 5 min. break is up. Back to the coal mines!! -
