That is my new campaign that I will be…campaigning.
I foolishly had a latte last night and it just now (at 8:30am, way too early to be awake on a Sunday morning) dawned on me that thats why I had an extremely restless sleep last night. I kept waking up, rolling over, getting in the [...]


For the past week, basically everytime Ryan has gone out in public, he’ll run into someone he knows who will exclaim “Hey, man, I saw you in the paper! Big picture of you!” We weren’t sure what paper, so finally tonight we found out (after he ran into another person who saw him in it) [...]
