I had oatmeal for breakfast – and then got organized to clean and do laundry. As usual I sort of read a few pages every hour or so. There’s nothing remarkable about cleaning my house – except that I get…

I took the time this morning to get gas in the Jeep on my way to work, so I wouldn’t have to back track mid-morning. I had several deals to do in Jeannette, but CVR was ‘down’ so I couldn’t…
