Is That a Snake? Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

It’s All Old, In Peru… No?

Circumcision, Bin Ladin and the Olympics. This Is How The Adventure Begins…

Call Me Prissy… Butt 2.
Note #1 to readers: This was originally posted on August 27, 2011, not long after I’d begun blogging. Strangely enough, this post has had an amazing life. In it’s first weeks on line it got relatively slow hits, or views. Steady, … Continue reading
