Hey Gina, you got Sherlock Holmes!
How you doing?
I’ll have to try this test...
That’s right, here we go...
Yes, indeed. Down we go into the fine world of yesteryear!
Yes, we have to scratch and collect our scalp skin! Mmmmmm! :-)
Vision, we’re doing fine. It’s damp and cool here. Starting to feel winter waking up.
How are you? What were you doing today?
This lineup was made for you...
Oh, I screwed up the coding and forgot to put the paragraph break from the text to the picture.
You’re right. This is our lineup. :-)
That was an all-day Church dinner—a loooong day for you!
Cool, looking forward to it.
