Happy Friday, which is also National Rotisserie Chicken Day, National Rocky Road Day, and the first of TNP's alternating "Summer Fridays" off for staff. Mom & I hit the Ocean City boardwalk today and I'm filled with pizza, iced coffee, and fudge. Chocolate Walnut fudge, not Rocky Road fudge because I didn't know about the National Day this afternoon.
