Today’s Thoughts

Another nice warm day. No complaints.

Headed out this morning for a much-needed haircut. When I called my stylist yesterday, he said he didn’t come in until 1p. Then he said but I will be here at 10ish. I asked if I could have 11am. He said sure. Nice guy earned a bigger tip.

I ran into a friend and her grandson from Tuba. Nice to catch up while we waited for our haircuts.

While scrolling though my emails I saw on the ‘Top 10 college towns in the US.’ Not surprised that Boulder, CO was on the list. An expensive but beautiful town for sure.

Still no speaker of the House. This is crazy.

Two American hostages released by Hamas. Finally!

Enjoy
