ReplyDeleteRelaxing read, which seems odd. Perhaps as much mind strain for thinking as I care to expend as I peruse? (did I spell that right?)
ReplyDelete?Fall In Love?? OH Yay!! J
ReplyDeleteThanks friends. Ha. John O.--I wrote most of these as things you could theoretically do in these places or things I've watched other people do (although many of them are things I've done.) That being said, I am dating someone right now who I like quite a bit--but it's a still new(ish) relationship.
