As long as I keep the crowd happy. Or indifferent. Last weekend was my sixth wedding anniversary. My handsome
Hola, my friends. Hope you are having a good week. I’m pretty good. Lots to do. Taxes, new ghia inventory, other stuff. Right now I’m re-training Cameron so that we can walk without him pulling me down the street. It’s very slow work, but I’m seeing a difference. I have some new BzzAgent reviews to
