It looks as if it's going to be a beautiful weekend here in Northern Virginia, with sunny skies, temperatures in the low 80's, and no rain ... perfect weather for me to try to sneak up on all the weeds that are sneering at me from the lush green of our new grass. I hope your weekend will be as pleasant and ... hopefully ... productive.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
