Good morning starshine! It was a bit of slow week here at Foofaraw HQ due to some pour decisions, but we made it here nonetheless. I'm going to be spending my weekend catching up on things and watching the Knicks/Pacers game tonight while my wife is off in Chicago, before she has to endure watching every single Finals game with me starting on the 5th. It's a lovely time of year!
