I don’t know what made me think of Yellow Shoes. He hasn’t been in my thoughts for a while but somehow, on this day, I began to entertain the idea of meeting him for a drink. If you recall, we met at a place of mutual interest a few times until becoming “friends” on Facebook. [...] Read More…

Anyway, I won’t disclose [...] Read More…
