I'm starting off the morning with a bunch of interesting links that showed up in my twitterfeed this morning. I'll try to do a proper post later today, after I pack up Jonah for cruise. Yes, my son is going on a cruise. I have never been on a cruise, but my 13 year old son is going on cruise. He was invited as part of a Bah Mitzvah party. Eye roll. After that, I have two interviews scheduled for an article that I'm writing. Then I have to schedule an interview for the next article. How did I get so busy? Then it's back to housewife stuff and I have to deal with finding a plumber and buying paint for next week's painting job.
