Oh, did I mention I got the Harrisburg job? Stay tuned for the December schedule. I already know Dec 1st.

Dec. 1st- Check into the Home for the mildly bewildered.

That’s it for today.

PS Some of you may notice that during the month of November, which is prime hunting season here in PA I don’t have a single day set aside for hunting. The wisdom of those close to me felt that putting a weapon in my hands during this particular November (with it’s ever so fun agenda) may not be such a good idea.. Sigh…there’s always next year.
