i am taking a totally random guess when i say 232 yards. the force is strong within me. i feel it's close by, yet i can nevr reach it.

yup. we're well fed with subway sandwiches, sodas and veggies with dip. the couches are nice, the tech support is very good. plus, i have my soco.

southern comfort. i snuck in a flask. i shared some with other bloggers (ask TMZ). that's the only way i know how to make friends, putting out. Schwing!
