Manny had to work a lot around the holidays, so our celebrating [...]
Goodbye 2010…
I had so many things I wanted to write here this week. I was going to reflect on the year, and post my favorite photos. I was going to actually participate in #reverb10. I still plan to do some of these things, but it is not going to happen before midnight tonight. And I will [...]
