Traditionally sung with a Norsky accent.

Will tell John and Ben.

I will actually be starting election work on Monday. Joanne's 32nd birthday is Sunday. I feel very old.

And you?

Adequate. Worrying about the election.

We have been using the oven extensively as a toaster, less on other settings. We are happy with it and are getting accessories. I may try baking a single loaf of bread in it next week. Or maybe rolls.

Doing that in the garage, but a lot of it is stuff we are holding for other people who have housing issues.

It is perfectly descriptive. We have our two youngest cats because of mistiming on getting them and their brothers broken. (We wanted to make sure there were no further generations)
