Happy New Year to you all
I’m not on the party circuit tonight, since I’ve long called NYE amateur night and as we all know I’m a professional… One early party stop and home by 9 is my plan. So what are your plans? Will you be getting married? Will you be hiding out in a motel room hunkered down with [...]
