Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's Friday! We all had a good time last night at Schlesinger's, the place was hoppin' and and it was good to see everyone as always. Sports wise, the MLB spring training is coming to an end, college basketball (both men's & women's) is down to the Final Four, NHL is about to start their playoffs and the NASCAR drivers are in Martinsville, VA this weekend. I hope everyone has a relaxing one and enjoys....... :-)

Good morning all, the coffee is on and it's back to work Monday. Beth and I had a relaxing weekend as planned. I spent a few hours at the cigar shop with the guys on Saturday, watched war movies and smoked a couple. Yesterday after running errands, we went to a family birthday party and then got home to watch the NASCAR race followed up by the women's championship basketball game. I see that the Yankees lost their season opened in Tampa, come on fellas, let's make this a good year. Anyway, enjoy your week everyone and smoke a couple of your favorites if you get the chance........ :-)
