Ahh, finally.. the end of another work week. How to best summarize the past 5 days? One word: Fear. ~nods Nonstop fear. OK yes now that was technically two words, but you get what we mean.. Fear of the economic world crumbling.. fear of no checks for elderly and infirmed.. fear of this and that. Friday in particular was such a repetitive waste full of fear and uncertainty, we didn't even bother writing a posting.
Of course the fears and concerns are real. And if you thought this past week was annoying, the following week is going to be pure hell on the nerves. But this is weekend.. clear your head, relax, lay by the pool, and sip a frosty one. But before you do, here's today's Quick thoughts:
