Is there anything better?

Yeah, it’s not a rhetorical question. There’s not. Nothing. Nothing at all. There’s nothing better than hanging out on the pool deck on a beautiful Spring day like this. See ya! I’m logging off so I can devote the entire afternoon to doing nothing… Continue Reading “Is there anything better?”
