Monday’s Loose Thread

I'm back. Can't you just feel the excitement? So, for my daughter's ninth birthday party, I had her friends running wacky relay races in the back yard. In one of them, they had to don a pair of my pajama bottoms, run to a pile of balloons and bring back as many as possible without hand-carrying them.

As the parents were picking up one girl, she exclaimed: "We got to stuff balloons down Gary's pants!"

So, how was your weekend? What's on your mind?
