Weekend Notes
Last week kind of sucked. I had the worst cold I’ve had in years, and it totally wiped me out. I think I slept most of the day Wednesday and spent the next four days coughing constantly. Friday and Saturday I had a headache that no amount of ibuprofen or sinus medication would knock back. My night time attempts at…
Weekend Notes
Catching up on the weekend and some girls notes as we wrap up a sleep-over. We swapped daughters with our neighbors last night.

Allow me to slip on my sports writing hat and talk about the Williams sisters for a while. I watched…
