What’s Wacky Today?

Well, here it is folks, the start of Memorial Day weekend; be sure to play and stay safe. Today is Sun Screen Day. If you live in Wisconsin and spend most of your time in Minnesota with friends and clients like I do (I live in the Twin Ports; do a Google search), I’m thinking you can save the sun screen for a while; maybe for that one nice day in August. However I’m not a doctor offering medical advice; gotta be careful these days with what you write.

Heads Up for Tomorrow: Amnesty Day and International Jazz Day.
