Friends of Dave #116: #KillerKale
Way too much stuff happening here this week, Friends....
As a result I am going to have to punt on the intro for this edition. Just no time this week to get something good put together. Sorry preamble fans!
Consider this a semi-spring break. I promise there are lots of worthwhile links below though, so you are not completely off the hook. This week's Last Word is a perennial gem. Take a few minutes to check it out.
XOXO
