WITH
JAxON


Besides many holes in the skull
fell for oil debbil Flu and really
wound up on my back. Can't gel
much shopping done that way.
Ever try it?
Well, did you cross paths with
any black cats on Friday the 18th,
and if so, what hoppen? Nothing
I'll bet except that the next day
was the 14th and you got at least
one pretty valentine.
Just like / said, it's really nice
being back, and without further
ado, we'd better get at shopping.
! have some real odd things to tell
you about, but we shop every.
where. So if we don't make with
the dresses and fine indies, just
believe that there are other things
in life just as necessary.
