And the results are in.
Not the way I thought it would go either.

Checks Not Accepted.
I am owed. Yes, I am owed, and it might be a substantial amount. But do I expect to see it? Nope. Not a dime. Not a single dime.

Words, not of wisdom …. Nope, just words …. Recently I started squeezing blueberries into my coffee. It’s quite the taste.
