David's Tangled Thoughts

I’ve taken a couple days off of work. Mostly it’s to just rest as I haven’t had a day off in… I can’t remember. Through my sister, I found out that the Shedd Aquarium had a discount day going this week and I took advantage of it yesterday. I’ve learned in DC that I can spend all day in a museum.

Due to these pressures along with competition from another member of the bridal party, hilarity ensues. My friend Kraig apparently is the go-to guy for all things cartoon. I like the stuff but he knows the stuff. The

Today was the start of the Bluegrass Festival. I've been meaning to take advantage of the free events that my local communities offer over the summer. This festival isn't particularly big but it's nice to go to the river park and relax to this music. This Saturday, I think I will be meeting my friend Erin there. She says that it's good family time. I agree. Please enjoy the little snippet.
