Yesterday was a mess, but almost everything I needed to accomplish is done. I won’t even talk about how Comcast LOST tomorrow’s appointment to reconnect my cable. I am shot. Shortly after posting, I’ll break down the computer network. If everything goes as planned, I’ll be back tomorrow night, just long enough to let you know.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:46 (average 4:48). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Fantasy Football Update:
The best I can do is give you the playoff brackets for our Lefty Blog Friends league.

3:24 Festive looking pub. Thirsty for a Guinness anyone?
3:23 Here, let me hold the door open for you.
Thanks, Jerry. You must have been thirstier.
It is never too early for a cold beer!
Good luck with your final moving day. Sit back and bark orders at the movers. I hear they love that. LOL
I hope all goes smoothly. Blessings on you. We look forward to your return.
4:38 Glad you are not moving on a bicycle LOL. BTW, is Guinness still "GOOD for you"?
Do rest as much as is possible in the eye of a storm.
Oh, yes, and while you are moving (or when you finish and can get back on line), be proud, be very proud, of your Senator: (email from Jeff Merkley)

Joanne —
We stood up to Wall Street. They marshaled a legion of lobbyists, but we never backed down.
Yesterday, we won a big victory for the American people and the middle class.
All five regulators, including the Federal Reserve, the Securities Exchange Commission, and the FDIC, approved a strong Volcker Rule firewall. Going forward, Wall Street banks will be unable to gamble like high-risk hedge funds — the same sort of "swing for the fences" bets that crashed the economy and created both the Great Depression and the Great Recession.
I guess I am going to have to add Merkley to my list of those I wish were my senator, instead of the two I have.
All of us who worked to get Senator Merkley elected are VERY proud of him, and working just as hard to make sure he gets re-elected.
You can always count on the cable company,no matter which one, to screw up. Glad you got most of the things necessary done. Get some rest.
5:11 – I don't know why I have so much trouble posting lately? Hope you feel better soon TC… 😆
