Malbo must be stuck in another KFC O-Dn' on the 11 'erbs-n-spices. Don't listen to him!
If you wanna dash to the races we may need to push off a day earlier?

2 things:

1) New Years Resolution - No Fast Food (sticking to it so far, although it's still sticking to me)

2) I can't take half the summer off like I did last year (what do I look like a teacher?)

yeah mo ........ fo Jim says you look like a teacher

Day trips on my day off per week, and that's it.
