It’s that time of the week again! I’ve had a busy day. Flo is napping on the sofa already, and Charlie is watching over her to make sure she’s not disturbed by anybody other than him.

That being said, I’ve had a busy day already so let’s just get these late night links shenanigans done so I can spend some time with my family.

• Canadian Featured in CNN’s MH370 Coverage Suing Former Employer
