Cats and Dogs

Any guy can love a dog. A dog is like that young and immature girlfriend. The one who drools all over you and looks up with her puppy dog eyes, doing everything in her power to please you.

Finding Warmth

In my previous post I whined about the bitterly cold temperatures that have landed on this state.
I woke up in a warm house and went out to my van that was parked in a semi heated garage. I drove my warm van and went to my warm office. The cold was just [...]
