What to do, what to do, what to do? :unsure:

The company that I work for has a fiscal year of May to April. So our holiday calendar year is also May to April. Turns out that I actually have 4 weeks to use up, due to carryovers. I'm thinking I'm going to carry over 2 again and try to use them in the summer. But now that I'm off this upcoming week, I have nothing really to do :(. I thought of visiting @Krista in Kentucky, but it is warmer up here right now ;). That and the promise, "If you show your face around here, you are going to get up close and personal with my shotgun."  😮 

So what do you recommend for me to do? 

While you are pondering my week ahead, let's see what happened in the past week at the GA Blog.

Monday was a new Classic Author Feature. Check it out and maybe download the banner if you want.

That means that on Wednesday Cia was back again with the Classic Author Feature Excerpt:

Thursday was an all new version of the Grammar Guide:

Friday we had some wintry Prompts from our Prompt Team:

On Saturday, Comicality was back talking about a naughty subject :o    :gikkle: 

Here is the Words of the Day brought to us daily by Myr.

regime, lodestar, braggadocio, founder, nudnik, cloying, oaf

We have a week left in January, do you think we can take any of these goals over the line?

Ouch! I felt neglected for a moment. I'm willing to put our LPW differences aside if you plan on swingin' by. I got plenty of bourbon and wine! Remember @wildone, there's more than one Kentuckian in the community, and I have a hefty discount at a booze shop.

You'll need that discount, dealing with the likes of that riffraff. GIF by MOODMAN

Every time I read/hear Kentucky, I think 'Justified'.

Sooo, if I ever hop over the pond again I think it will be New York and I'll visit Val, and/or Arizona and I'll say hi to Cole.

Recently, the city I live in was named the Bluegrass Capital of the World. Barring any radio music, I have yet to hear a banjo in the decade I've lived here. I work in a liquor store, and I sell more vodka than anything else. We only have one KFC in town, and nearly everyone I know locally would rather have Popeyes.

Kentucky is a very backasswards place.

The bad sort of dueling banjos is in Georgia.  Kentucky gets the Steve Martin/Kermit the Frog type of dueling banjos.

And for the data type people... Reading Data from the last 90 Days was also posted yesterday.

I'm going to hold you to that ;)  And there's no way you're coming here without seeing Cole, whether it's going to Arizona or him coming here again.  :hug: I'll start getting the guest room ready.  There's plenty of room for you and your dragon, although he can stay in Drogon's cave if he's more comfortable there. :P   I'll even get the room upstairs ready for Cole :)

So what do you recommend for me to do? 

Come visit me!  I don't have a shotgun, I promise :whistle:  We can go visit the Falls and I totally promise not to shove you over them :whistle:  We can even take a trip down the Thruway and visit the Grand Poobah :gikkle:

I'll happily take that! I love Steve Martin, and Kermit is a meme lord.

So when doing this up I told Krista what I was going to do :P

Our convo:

Steve: Here is what I'm posting
Krista: You can't publish that!!
Steve: Why not?
Krista: Because it is funny
And very true
