(I’ll probably watch one or two more episodes and trash the rest…I’ve seen … Continue reading Fonzie’s Eyes And My Kidneys
I take great pride in my ability to have fun on vacations despite my long list of problems and catastrophes while traveling. For example! My sister Joey Bean and I went to L.A. In a fit of shenanigans, I started jumping on the hotel room bed…and promptly fell off and laded on my hand. I … Continue reading Vacation Tribulation
