No news this week. Just weather and sports.
In the spring, a young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love, while an older man's fancy turns to the Masters, the Habs' playoff chances, breakfast and bunions (paraphrasing Alfred Tennyson here). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
