Thought for Today: "I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking." - Dorothy L. Sayers, English author (1893-1957).
D.L. Sayers wrote the Lord Peter Wimsey novels, and only used her initials, since it
wasn't perceived that a woman could write a good murder mystery.   wrote in the 20' and 30's

Sunny and WARM.  Feels like Austin up here today.  Saw the boss is already taking you to lunch.  Don't let him get handsy!
