Musings from the CU Suite

The weekend is here, and this boy is excited. I'm headed to the Steel City with my parents, brother and sister to watch Pittsburgh do battle with Miami.

The weather will be frigid, which is fine by me. Let those tanned Miami boys deal with the wind chill in the City of Bridges!

(Also, I do want to report that I've recovered from the Penn State game. Thanks to all of you who sent me nice notes, checking on my health and sanity after the loss.)

I hope your 2017 is off to a great start. As always, let us know if you ever need anything this year. 

Now, on to this week's reading pile...
