Anita Baker on vinyl is the only way to listen.
I like to build furniture.
Gin is the new black.
I study and teach wine and spirits…so expect me to frequently chat the topic. I also think beards are better.
I have a Red Factor Sun Conure named Joey - He’s the ultimate escape artist. Like me, he cannot be contained! Lol.
