It’s my Friday today. I’m on call, tomorrow, but that’s okay. I feel lucky. (knocks on wood and sacrifices a small woodland creature to ward off unplanned disasters.)

This weekend promises to be a full one. Game night tonight, friends tomorrow night, friends Saturday, writer’s group Sunday.

Today I go to lunch with the brass to celebrate my upcoming 10th anniversary with this company. Ten years. Wow. Who would have known? Thankfully, I’ve done 5 different jobs in that time.

Literal meaning
"Keep refrigerated, eat within three days."

History
Made from straw by a dancing child's grandmother as the baleful influence of Halley's Comet was felt sharply among those distracted from their dangerous work to stare at the sky, the name Anne was originally used charmingly to refer to licensed manufacturers of swanee-whistles, the endlessly amusing noise-making device, before a wager between De Mancy Oblast and the Earl of Warwick altered its destiny.
