Steve Stratton, where have the year's gone? Facebook says it's your birthday today. And, Facebook can't be wrong. We think that means you must be 67, or so.
Heck, we remember your second grade birthday party in Mrs. Jerome's room in the grade school.
We think you should buy a lottery ticket and use the numbers 2-3-0-7-6-7-7.
Or toss in 4 - 1 - 9 and you have a certain winner.

Too cold to exercise outside? Don’t let that be an excuse to not get up and get moving inside!
It’s hard to stay motivated when it’s cold outside and you haven’t seen the sun for few days. Believe me – I know! I’m not afraid to say that I’m a sucker for a good movie, my snuggly blanket and comfy couch on those cold winter nights.
