Folks: And now it is December. What? How did that happen? If time goes fast when we are having fun, then man oh man we must be having fun!

Happy Friday. It really and truly is November, isn’t it? The days keep getting shorter, and the nights are colder. I comfort myself in knowing that in five or six weeks the days will begin again to lengthen. Another successful week here in the department.

Many of you saw what is really a […]
