Friday on a Stick, with Whipped Cream

[LPMiller]

It’s an 8 degree Friday, and no one can take that away from you, mostly because it froze in place. They can try to chip away at it, though.

I need to pump up, I need to wake up. I need a jam.

There we go. Now I can face the day. Or at least, pretend. Fake it if you can’t make it, that’s what I never say.
