There’s no question Michael will not be please with this post or this picture. He’s private, but it had do be done. It’s a milestone. This past Saturday Michael turned 40. I’ve known him for 24 of those years. He’s bigger now, hairier, he tucks his shirts in and I can’t remember the last time…
I really like See’s Candy. I like to go into the store. It reminds me of Michael’s grandmother and it’s special. I suppose you can get candy anywhere and pay a lot less or get a larger amount, but I go to See’s. Every time I pick up candy for Easter or Christmas I get…
