Hey there – it has been a long time, I know. Here's some stuff I found interesting. In addition to being a gifted writer David Abrams is generous.

Crawl under the covers and think of yourself for once. You deserve it! I know I’ll be celebrating that way. I don’t have too … [Read more...]
News and submission info
Hey there sports fans! I am like many people in Chicago today -- nervous, unable to concentrate, wondering about the future.
