SLACKISH REACTION: It is raining so horrible people park in handicapped spots at Donuts Chain. I mixed it up and tried the Peppermint Mocha Iced Coffee this morning. Nice change of pace but I will go back to Maple Pecan tomorrow.

NOT LINKING: The guys at Amazing Apple Insiderized Mets Blog Line think the Mets COULD sign Duda.

Content for Content’s sake.
Today is one of my favorite days of the year as I should be able to wrap work early and then go Chill & Netflix (again that’s actual chilling aka video games and actual Netflix. I know you millennials have another version but be married for 20 years and let me know how that goes for you. Enjoy your youth kids!)
