For You, Dear Readers
— Ace

I was in and out for a week without planning ahead for it (in fairness, it was a last-minute thing occasioned by a sudden event).

I wanted to thank the cobloggers for carrying the show on my days off, and the readers for sticking by; but I couldn't think of how to do that.

But then I found it. A gift to you, to show my gratitude.

For you.

I was searching for something to do with London and I came across this. I can't think of how to actually use it in a post. I think it could be used after I establish it as a goof, so this is me, establishing it as a goof.

What is up with that album cover.

Oh, here are the London Boys, singing London Nights.

Took his girlfriend to the doctor today. (Doc did a double-take when he saw me again.) Doc says not flu but bronchitis. Put her on Cipro.

Hubby woke up sick this morning. So far I haven't been able to convince him to go to the doctor. He has more important stuff to do. His concealed-carry permit is waiting to be picked up at the sheriff's office.
