Ever wonder why I don’t post very often? Let me give you a couple little peeks into some of the reasons why that might be…
Let’s start with the dumbest one first:
When I posted about The Ninja’s travel trouble, it later showed up on my Facebook automatically imported as a note. The groom of the wedding involved somehow found it there and took it very personally.
