As I mentioned Wednesday, I'll be off the next two work days and through the weekend to take care of personal business. Unfortunately, Super Sub Cindy is finishing a major project this week and isn't available to substitute for me. I apologize for leaving you on your own until Monday when we'll get things rolling again. I'll check in occasionally to deal with any trolls that might surface. The rest of you know how to entertain yourselves. See you back here Monday. Be kind to one another. Here's the 4-day Wild Card ...
