He drives a red Chevy Tahoe SUV, attended VA Tech (bumper sticker), is a CPA (license plate VTCPA), and vacations on Okracoke Island (oval sticker OKI.) However, he neglected to put one of those little stick families on the rear windshield! Is he single, no pets, no kids and hiking alone today? What is his income? His political persuasion? I am left to ponder these questions. Why do people feel compelled to tell everyone details of their lives? Is simply living them insufficient?"***
Wonder where I get it...?
***Obviously she isn't talking about the details of my life. Those are totally and completely different.
You still read really well, Leigh Ann, as far as I can tell.
