Good morning, friends. Welcome to the weekend. It’s nice, isn't it. The Mariners lost a heartbreaker last night. I don't have much more to add to that, so I will just say a few unrelated things.
I played spike ball for the first time of the year yesterday. That’s probably my favorite lawn game. The weather is starting to get a bit more tolerable. How nice.
Before you go, I wanted tell you that I believe brushing teeth is among the world’s biggest inconveniences. On that note, enjoy your links.
