So, how did you do on the roads at the new 25 mph speed limit?  I admit it has been a challenging week.  As soon as I start accelerating, I remember I must slow down.  I encountered a few police cars here and there (one in the Snug Harbor driveway on Henderson Ave.) and decelerated.  Not too obvious, right?  Also, I’m wondering if all the drivers behind me know about the slower speed limit.  More than a few have zipped past me frustrated that I was a slow poke.

That's all well and good but I think I'll just sit home and watch TV.

This was also a good weekend to cuddle up in front of the roaring fireplace and relax. Clark, I hope your weekend was restful!
