DREAM DAY, D-DAY TOMORROW

My dream day is pretty simple. I had one recently. Did I live every moment to the max and soak up the vibes? Or did I just feel lucky as hell to be a part of such a day? Well let me tell you my idea of a dream day at my house:

BROKEN BLOG REPORTER

Who’s got a broken blog? Who breaks their blog and gets more traffic as a result. It’s a sad yet funny story. Beginning with the name change from BoomerPdx.

NEW EXPECTATIONS? HOPE ISN’T ENOUGH?
