CALL for ENTRIES: Figuratively

EGGS
not worms
for me

I am early for almost nothing. As I have gotten older, I am far better at being on time, but I still JUST make it most of the time. As you might imagine, this doesn’t make for great breakfast. Luckily, my spouse is the king of egg breakfast. We go through DOZENS of eggs each week. So the early bird…gets to cook in my house. This next Call offers benefits for being early. So, don’t procrastinate…
