Taking Care of Business

It's Saturday in January. Freezing rain last night and the roads are still wet. There's still a scrape of ice on the sidewalk despite my scraping and throwing rock salt. And business is slow. I mean slow, slow, slow. Custody dads with their darlings have been in and that is about it.

Today is an acquaintance' funeral and I'm not attending; I'm sure that he would understand that I'm taking care of business today.
