Birds flyin' high, you know how I feel
Fly-by Friday items for your perusal:
- Majestic morning. Crisp air tinged with chill, clear skies... if only I had cider... *le sigh*

Email to WHOM?!?
Opened a broadcast email to folks in my division. No big, it was an announcement about a toolkit. Hooray.
Not sure what possessed me to check out the "Send to" list, but I did. Imagine my surprise when I saw the name Teri Schaivo.
Um........ yeah. I got nothin'.
