Grandsons are in the house. I am responsible this morning to engineer activities for my youngest descendant, Mateo, which will probably involve a pet store, a playground, and a treat somewhere — and that’s just the morning.
The final draft list should be up soon. The EWW was sent in an email last night. I won’t get much research done, so the odds are very poor I can fix the glaring hole(s) in my roster.
