A baker's dozen of story links (all features) for you to scroll through and enjoy this morning.
The sound of rain is the backdrop to my morning, a serene contrast to the theme of yesterday. As "they" say, "If it could go wrong, it did!"
And if anyone has ever been frustrated by how the health care system can take a simple procedure and turn it into a complicated maze of missteps, please raise your coffee mug with me.
(Wow - that's a lot of coffee mugs).
On the other hand, it might make an amusing blog for next week.
Still, I'm hoping the only beast showing up on my horizon this weekend is a werewolf and even then, only in my computer.
Enjoy your Friday and beyond.
And happy reading!
