Life does get interesting as time goes on, does it not, Champ? I went to see a specialist the other day that I had not met before. After a bit he comes in, and my first though is that it must be bring your kid to work day, and my second though was does he shave more than once a month. Lol of course he an expert in his field and my thoughts were unfounded. :/
