It's a sick joke

The deadline is today, if you're filing for an extension.

Senior Ball

The first pic is Molly arriving downstairs. Please note the 4D mug. (She's been fighting off a cold and was sipping tea in advance of the Jordan's arrival.)















Both sets of parents and one grandma were on hand to help got the corsage in the lapel.

She's not home yet...
(she arrived a half hour after I posted this.)
