All fragmented.
7:30 AM...a fine time for breakfast at home. 7:30 AM...really early for breakfast out with people in a business framework. Not that I arrived at 7:30 AM. I arrived at 7:45, but still...note, I was not only outside the house, but all the way over in Moorhead at 7:45 AM. If you know me, you [...]
