A cool front pushed through our area, and the current temps and humidity are awesome. Needed rain didn’t happen, but wow … the current conditions are great for golf.
Reminder to readers that the next post is Time: The Musical featuring songs with hour(s) in the title. I hope you’re ready because curtain time is approaching.
On to the mid-week dose of satire. I created the headlines below about bloggers. Do you know any of these people? Submit your guesses in the comments, and then I’ll enter the answers later.

Medical Professional Advises Self by Asking Outer Introvert to Seek Inner Extrovert’s Guidance
Writer Releases How to Influence People and Friends at Work based on actual life

Blogger Changes Real Name to P Diddy Pun Monster
I got Alex, Carrie, Fraz (at Wombania), possibly Elyse and maybe Shouts Abyss and Zannyro.
