Woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat and the beginnings of a head cold. Mrs. Paddy was congested. We all took it easy and the performance of Mozart’s Requiem went well. This morning Teh Older is sick, but Mrs. Paddy and I are feeling better. Welcome to Monday.
“Dang drunken puppy drivers!!1!”
Happy Monday, Wheelizens!

Heh!
Ohio seeks expert on marijuana cultivation but wants a drug-free firm.

Hai, Paddy!
Glad your cold didn’t keep you from performing teh Mozart yesterday and that you two are feeling better today.
Hope Teh Older recovers swiftly, too.
“He’s”? You must be talking about Hillary!
Will the media report on Stairgate? They would if it had been Reagan, or Dole, or McCain.
