My first words to him were, "There are two before you. But you are the Prince. For one year. Then you are on your own."He interpreted that as, "I rule. All bow down to my wishes."He was right.He didn't sleep for the first three years he was on this Earth. Just as we were ready [...]

Dreaming of working out.

This is my current workout playlist. I'm currently into JT. Now, back in my day, JT was James Taylor. For My Girl, it is Justin Timberlake. There is no James Taylor on my playlist, I assure you, although I do still like the original (and only) JT.One day, I will share with y'all stuff from [...]
