The ABCs
My Facebook friend, Nate Hanley, posted this gem on his page the other night and because I love shit like this, I couldn’t resist answering it myself. But as I was about to add it to my Facebook author page, I thought to myself: this would make a great blog post. And since I haven’t been blogging lately as much as I would like, I’m doing just that – posting it to my blog. So check out my ABCs and then if you’re feeling super generous and chatty, share your own.
