[RP TownTalk] Little Giant closed??

[Corey Slavitt]

I just recently resubscribed to TownTalk after a year or two's 
hiatus.  I missed it.

I get grumpy, too, sometimes, when delivery of stuff I count on or am 
looking forward to is kind of funky.  But then I try to think about 
what might be making things that way . . . someone's personal 
problems, a flat tire that morning . . . who knows.  Sometimes it 
helps to put things in perspective.  Though sometimes it just doesn't 
help explain anything at all.  But I'm glad this time it did!
