Happy Boxing Day!

Posted on December 26, 2020 by A Dreamer

And yet again, I am disappointed it doesn’t mean you can punch someone in the face. Or something, like, I don’t know…2020 needs punching. (But also several someone’s in the Republican party.) But, it is at least a Saturday, which … Continue reading →

Happy Leftovers Day!
