Liz’s rant: Give me back my Sundays

Liz’s rant: Give me back my Sundays

Something about having things to do on a Sunday afternoon is inherently irritating as it is. But having something to do at 2:30 p.m. when expecting to be done by 4 p.m. and not being done until almost 5:30 is just beyond my current tolerance level. The lead-in hadn’t helped much either.

My dilemma was two-fold: no ice rinks with hockey programs for toddlers, and no money for which to pay the astronomical ice rink dues even if such a program existed.
