It's another Saturday morning, more or less, so I guess it's time for the second edition of my Weekly Links of Interest.
Not a whole lot going on at this time, besides a ton of rain and otherwise humid cruddy weather. Don't take me wrong, the rain is a great thing and I'd much rather it rain than not. It just means that I've got a smaller and smaller window to get the yard work done. I'm just glad that I was able to do so this morning.
This week we picked up some tickets to see one of the plays that the twins will be in, which will be coming up at the end of this week. We're really looking forward to seeing the kiddos in it. After that, it'll be a musical.
