Saturday, November 28, 2009

Clearly somebody is screwing with me…….

Monday, November 23, 2009

When I first moved to Arizona I read the brochures.  You know, the cool ones with the 1950′s logos telling you how great it is here.  “Wish you were here…..” , “Having a great time…….”, “Come to sunny warm Arizona……”  Yup, I bought it all hook line and sinker. In the end I landed in [...]
