    Mornin' BBB

    I saw that about the buyout for retirement for federal employees on the news this morning. Somehow, I'm not surprised.
    Caroline Kennedy posted a video about her cuz RFK Jr. Yikes.
    The Circus continues with a brand new cast.
    Good luck to Riley on sale of house.
    I bet you were looking forward to hosting a Superbowl party, Mary. Maybe next year, they look very promising.

    Good morning.

    It'll be interesting to see how lifetime government employees with no corporate reorganization experience retool the harder hit agencies with the buyout. They'll find out pretty quickly that the high performers who can make it on the outside are the ones who will take the buyout.

    I'm off to Arlington today. That group I've been helping lost a third of its staff to go work in the administration. So.. the guy that does have reorganization experience has to help them figure out what to do next. I'd say it'll be a fun challenge, but I won't be able to throw a ball with the dog for 3 days.

    Next week, his nuts come off and I get to have a sleepy exploration of my backside. Had to explain to my boss why I didn't put detail in my time off notice yesterday. He was like, "Yeah. I wouldn't want that in the the internet forever either."

    Lol Lou! Definitely on a need to know basis... Lucky you. 3 days of office bliss and come back to that. Oh joy.
    Safe travels.

    I'm waiting for my investments to soar, as promised....

    Had a virtual dr visit and she is very satisfied with my wl over 30 weeks and my improvement on how I'm feeling... me too. But I need to march on.

    Works calls. Dubai has some money to spent with me...

    Be well BBB !

    Good morning BBB friends.

    The cold refuses to go away. Either in my sinuses or the weather outside. Sigh.

    Praying for Joanne and her caregiver.
