Set an open course for the Virgin Sea

This week’s music: Sail Away by Styx

My Take: No take this week (except I just saw Dad had the #1, 5, & 6 hitters but his pitching let him down big time). I’m tired an just glad to get this done. James woke up screaming last night and “slept” with us. Today we went to the Toledo Zoo and while we had a good time, it was very hot and exhausting (except apparently for the boys).

Some housekeeping notes:
              1. No update next week because I’ll be “sailing away” to Virginia
              2. I hope to post again tomorrow with some different info

Now down to business.
