    selfish gifting

    FMG’s birthday was a smashing success. Actually, it was more like a low key affair. We worked a half day. Went by his parent’s house so he could pick up his gifts from them. We basically visit in the garage these days 10 feet from his parents, all of us is masks. But I guess Read more
