Sunday Sundries--Bigger and Better

My "real life job" is tech support. I've used transcribing my notes as a way to increase my typing speed and it has helped. But, I talk to these folks all the time:

Have you ever noticed this:


Here's someone who especially knew what he was talking about:

I haven't felt this way in a long time and I really miss it:

I can't tell you how many summer days I spent reading. These are my old friends. And finally:


Proud to create. Everyone stay cool and have a great week!
