Trapped!
My choir’s holiday concert was last night, and afterwards we went out and caroled around the neighborhood.

Beware of microwaves
We had excitement around the office this week! Someone (who shall remain unidentified) put a polar fleece-wrapped heat/cold pack in the microwave and left it for far too long. The next thing the rest of us knew, there was a strange chemical-y smell in the hallway, and since we’re being good about safety procedures lately,…
