Moving is Such Joy
So last weekend we moved into the new house. Actually we moved on Friday, but I was absent because payroll was due and then there was a training that nobody else could do. So The Lovely Rhonda was forced to begin the move without me. We hired some thugs and a truck because a) we…

A Day Off
