Happy 2011!
A big hello and a happy 2011 to you – may it be filled with all the love and happiness your heart and hands can hold!!!! I am well-rested from my break in the Cape. My injuries from my last mountain-biking fall are all healed thankfully – my knee really took a pounding. I haven’t had the […]
Holiday wishes…
It’s getting to that mad crazy time of year again. I’d like to wish you all a safe, fun, harmonious silly season filled with the laughter of family and friends.
