quittin' tiiime!

So, after this weekend, during which I will be very busy and possibly will neglect you, I am headed to my sister's for the holiday. In case you don't hear from me for a while, do not be alarmed! I shall return after Christmas weekend. B'friend is very concerned about working in the nether regions of our community, namely DeSoto county. He says no one lives there. He says it is just 'on the way to casinos.' He says nothing happens there. How is he expected to write news stories there?
