That period in my life was one of the best, ever.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101041874322030800.post-3032450948584762312014-02-20T13:13:12.505+00:002014-02-20T13:13:12.505+00:00Love the orange story.Love the orange story.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.com
