Why no Tinsel, mostly Tine?
It has been almost a month since our last film commentary, part of the reason is because I have been caring for my ailing mother, who by the grace, is self-sufficient again, not quite herself, but doesn’t need me like she did the last few weeks. During this time, however, I only missed one PFS sneak preview – Disney’s Secretariat.

Dated another guy in Allentown, (again, less than 2 hrs away in the other direction) sent him a text once with a very steamy promise if he agreed to drive to me after work.
