Nophoto-u-50x66 Aeyoung! It was so great to see you the other day (and by "the other day" I think that may have been at least a couple of weeks ago ((and it was at night))....although, I can't be sure. Winter here really makes days and weeks melt away into one another. And not in a delicious way like when you put a kraft single on your scrambled eggs). Anyway, we should get together again some time soon....at least before you ditch this cold, grey city for good. Take me with you!
