Oy, what a week. It's a good thing we have the Open Thread here as a place to mellow out and gather strength for the upcoming work week. Please remember to sign your posts, and please avoid profanity, as well as sexually or racially abusive speech.
PROGRAMMING NOTE: I'm going to be off Monday, but you'll be in the capable hands of my colleague Sara Shepherd. Her email is sshepherd@kcstar.com.
Thanks for hanging out here, and have an excellent weekend!
