Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Barb McQuaid, Jill Wine Banks, Kimberly Atkins store, and me, Joyce fans.

If you've kicked off your new year with some hashtag sisters in law gear,

then you know there's good stuff in the store. And if you haven't, go and check out the

hoodies and t-shirts. They're available at politicon.com slash merch. You can find the link in our show

notes. So on today's show, it has been yet another one of these really serious weeks.

Oh, that's fine. Huga. You should enjoy that. Embrace. Oh, snowdies are the best choice because when there's a snow day, it's not just a day off. It's an unscheduled day off.
