Anything On Your Mind? 2006! I finally made a move in 2006 that I’d been needing to do for a while. I was working at a place that I really quite liked. The...

Anything On Your Mind? In addition to my slow walk through the 2010s, I have a Music League going right now that is going through the 90s. I hadn’t really...
