It was a one-of-a-kind show today, with special guest J.T. Foxx. Nationally-syndicated radio show host, J.T. has plenty of opinions on politics and business.

Man, am I beat. It has been a LONG day, but quite enjoyable. The kids did a lot of their school work in the room this morning while I took a walk around the area.
