Light work week as the plane has been in Maintenance. Drove to Manchester, NH to pick up the plane then had a long weekend with the honey. We had brunch with 2 of his coworkers, and then my company christmas party. Schedules are all over the place and not matching up very well, but we will get some time together!  I spent a couple hours outside of Cleveland Tuesday, had some italian food and back we came! Travel in January to a cousin's wedding but not much else planned! We'll see what work brings.

If spades is trump then the Jack of Clubs is high card above the A of spades.  So rank of the trump suit of Spades is: Jokes, Jack of Spades, Jack of Clubs, A,K,Q, etc on down.  we take out the 2 and 3's also.
