Eyes on the U.S. Economy
What a great weekend! The weather was just right for getting outside and practicing your favorite hobby or just “piddlin” around. I even went over to Gardner Park and threw the pigskin with my buddies, Ben and Jasper. Mallorie’s folks made it over to Laurel Saturday afternoon and we fired up the grill. We dined on steaks, chops, red fish and all the fixin’s – thank you Mike!

The January Effect
Getting the motor running this week may be tough. Mallorie and I headed for Atlanta this past weekend for a quick trip to the famed IKEA. We found two stories of wall to wall discounted tables, couches, bed frames, curtains, pillows, chairs and the list goes on and on and on. I was delighted to find that they did have the husbands in mind when they included a full service cafeteria that offered most anything needed to fuel an all-day home furnishings tour.
