    First, but no cat. It’s not really that cold in DC. I just took the pups for a walk and it’s quite pleasant. My wife and I will be volunteering at our local food pantry today. Not gonna watch, not gonna listen. Have a peaceful day, all.

  2. In shepherding in the cold temps, God has spoken…

    You must have been out earlier than me! The sun warmed it up.

  4. We’re going to the movies. Tee vee is off, phones are muted.

    We won’t hear about the sick fuck’s crappy speech until we get home.
