Not a lot of sleep. Micky being in NYC fills the whole house with weird creaks, and this strange sensation that every noise is someone out to get me (or maybe I’ve watched too much Burn Notice…).<\/p>\n
The week ended well, and the weekend was even better. Saturday was good family bonding. Sunday was good bonding with the Green family.
