Wow!
11:40 AM Phil
I could be in shorts. I love this town
11:41 AM Sassy
The Northerner did a sweet thing for me yesterday
I’m a big fan of the Bangor Maine Police Department Facebook page
They have a small museum with a stuffed Duck of Justice
He was driving north and stopped in to take a photo with the Duck and sent it to me!
It’s the only photo of him I have
11:43 AM Phil
How cool is that!
11:43 AM Sassy
It’s a wacky thing but so nice
11:43 AM Phil
It’s the simple things that mean the most
11:44 AM Sassy
He’s not a Facebook person at all but did it for me.
I can’t believe he got to see the Duck of Justice before I did!
11:45 AM Phil
Ha!
11:46 AM Sassy
You all ready for xmas?
11:48 AM Phil
Yup! All set.
11:49 AM Sassy
Nice!  We finished bagging and tagging last night, so we’re good to go.
Hubby helped!  I was so pleased
11:59 AM Phil
Excellent! Having a former neighbor over for Christmas dinner.
11:59 AM Sassy
He hanging in?
12:01 PM Phil
Ticker is no good but he’s still here. Bought him a bottle of tequila for Christmas. Heard it’s good for your heart!
12:02 PM Sassy
Might as well live it up!
12:09 PM Phil
Hell yeah!
I’m trying anyway 
12:10 PM Sassy
You do the best at it of everyone I know!
12:11 PM Phil
Why thank you! I just try to enjoy every day
Gonna have the best clam strips I have ever had in a few. The size of my finger but much tastier!
12:14 AM Sassy
Oh that sounds so yummy!
I’m eating cottage cheese. With chives! Heh.
12:16 PM Phil
Clams and she crab soup for me! Yummy!

7:02 AM Sassy
Happy Friday!   
You working? I’m not!  So excited to be done for the year!
7:28 AM Phil
I am! Trying to catch up a bit so I can relax. Gotta plan turnover. I don’t believe anyone knows all the things I have my fingers in around here. 

Enjoy your day off! We are off to the beach in the AM!

8:55 AM Sassy
Did you pick a job to take?
9:00 AM Phil
Not yet. Had a second interview for the second one yesterday.
9:01 AM Sassy
You want that one?
9:07 AM Phil
That’s the one I would prefer but both offer a change of scenery and a better commute.
