It must be Monday, I'm getting kicked in the ribs again. Owtch.
Back to school?..... already?? Man that's harsh. I remember as a kid I used to dread the first week of September, not the middle of AUGUST.... that's insane. We used to get the last ween of June, and ALL of the month's of July & August off. What a ripoff getting the last part of August clipped off.
Oh yeah... good morning!
