Last week’s article wasn’t as good as the opening week, but I’m still pleased with the results.

Please, blog, may I have some more?I hold a few blades a grass up, then toss them to test the wind. They just sorta fall to the ground and I’m not sure what that tells me.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Salutations everyone, and best wishes that the baseball injury gods are treating you relatively well.
