Rob’s Update: Coming Down the Mountainside
Week 10 of 2021 Greetings all This was a discombobulated week. In order to help the sweetie’s parents, I had to drive up to North Dakota and back essentially over the weekend. 13 hours each way plus hotel stays will take a bite out of a week, that’s for sure. Still, I was productive this […]
