The start of a weekendaul

 A weekend is upon us, and I am sort of looking forward to it.  I mean, if I can catch up on some stuff, get some stuff done, maybe do a little cleaning and organizing -- and get some reading in -- and I will consider it a raging success.  Had a good workout at the gym -- aside from the tight hamstring and the bumping my diaphragm on the weight bench -- and a nice and healthy dinner... still a bit fat, but...
