The dog isn't even asking for a walk this morning.

These dark mornings are...tough.

Speaking of...we ever gonna get another nice, sunny, warm-enough-to-be-comfortable-outside spring day?

I've watched more SNL in the past 3 weeks than I have in the past two decades.

I'm ashamed to say that everything I know about GrayKey I know from the Karen Read trial....
