Pam Headed Home.

Love Interest At Noon.

Serviced At 2.

Ex At Eight.

It has just been an odd day. Woke up needing aspirin (surprise!). I think the post title says it all. Apparently I’m all blocked up since the title discusses four different people so I just exploded (in some cases, literally). Amazing that I got any work done. And it’s overcast. [218.7]

On The Water… Again.

This weekend if all about reading (and playing poker) for me. Oh, and installing the BBQ. Nice shot of David in front of the installed BBQ. It only took two wrenches, a vise and partially disassembling the BBQ. There were seven of us at the poker weekend at Lake Cushman — five of us playing [...]
