Cutting out early today, folks. Gotta get a head start on celebrating my double-nickle birthday: Big 5-5. Tomorrow. Nah, I won't be hitting the bars. Never have. But I'll be enjoying myself with my wife and extended family. 'Tis nice to have family around. I won't be alone in celebrating either. Mayor Sandi Bloem shares Nov. 20 with me. You might want to wish her a happy one, too. See ya Monday.
