“You are a bundle of energy, always on the go.”
This fortune should have gone to the lil’ peanut, rather than the Baba, who is an Object At Rest Trying Valiantly, Against All Odds, To Stay At Rest. If I had a personalized license plate, it would read: I [heart] NRTIA. (Which [...]

    • perkl8 commented on SF Pride Slideshow saying bee-yootiful. Thanks so much for posting all the photos! We got to the celebration a bit late so didn't see much parade.
