  Tweet

  Tweet Fast forward from yesterday. Yesterday I went from posting here to twitter, where a friend asked me, “If you could go back in a time machine to wherever you wanted, where would it be?” I thought this was a cool question. Where would I stop off? I actually spent a couple of hours talking [...]
