Good evening! Happy Friday!

Nira, I hope they figure out root cause and you get back to your usual busy self soon! Hope the pain isn't too awful. That is really too bad you have to postpone your trip. Jamie must be getting to be an old hand at moving by now.

George do you have a screened porch or patio where you can work on your writing? So you can enjoy the Spring weather? Good luck with your autobiography.

Logan, that sounds like so much fun to go see your high school friend in the play with so many other high school friends. Enjoy your time with your parents also! And good luck with your changes in technology.

Miss Jeans, from recent posts, seems time is flying by as you are working your butt off! Hope Esme doesn't have repeat unmentionable incidents!

I had a good day at work. We went to the Voc for lunch. It was their Spring (Easter) buffet. (I have Spring Holiday on friday, it coincides with Good Friday and does every year, but is called Spring Holiday so as to not offend anyone.) The menu was lobster bisque, salad, scalloped potatoes, carrots, pork in cabbage, scallops with shallots in cream sauce, haddock, ham, popovers and rolls... and the usual variety of desserts. It was quite good. There were 12 of us. It was very nice although one woman talks nonstop. I am sure she thinks she is a brilliant conversationalist but she misses the point that conversation is supposed to be an interaction between people not a monologue. I just turned towards the people on my other side and joined in that conversation. 

People on the production line were all saying goodbye to those not in our lottery pool, confident we are going to win.  I found that amusing.  I will let you know if we do.  smiley: wink

A woman who lives in my town seems to know a lot about what is going on.  Her husband is a firefighter.  So I would suspect she would know more.  She told me what "the word on the street" was about the dead body.  Doesn't mean it is true.  I have doubted all along that a body just self combusted in the woods.  The speculation is the body is that of a man involved in an unfortunate incident from months ago that had serious impacts on others.  I gather he was not held accountable for his actions.  So the rumor suggests someone decided to take the law into their own hands.  I don't agree with the behavior if it is true.  But much better outcome than a lunatic running around town randomly picking people to burn to death in the woods...you must agree!  I am curious if an official finding will ever be published.  Meanwhile, I will endeavor not to seriously offend anyone! 

On a brighter note, I now have over 50 sponsors for my fundraiser.  smiley: happy  People are being most generous.  Laughing... well not everyone!  But so far, I only have one person who said no.  actually he said NO!  smiley: mad 
Oh, well!  What was I thinking, asking him?   I do think he could have said... no, thanks!  No I/we have other causes we donate to.   or a simple... I would prefer not to.  He was rude!  But then again, he is!  And notoriously cheap!  I guess I got confused as other notoriously cheap people have been happy to sponsor me.  I don't know many other people who are rude!  LOL.  My mistake. 

I am off to exercise.... I have 9046 steps in today.  And I bought mats on my way home so running in place will be less detrimental than running on concrete.  Silly pedometer does not register playing with the penguin, hula hoop, skiing, etc.  My butt and thigh muscles do! 

Have a great weekend!
