Houdini

For the past 3 months, I had been getting almost daily emails from the website enticing me to come back.  For example: "15 men checked you out this week!" "He's interested in you! Enroll now to find out who!" "He emailed you! Click here to read his email" "Someone likes your photo!" My, aren't I the popular one…   It's funny though - now that I've been back on the site for a week this onslaught of admirers seems to have d...

It's Far From Over

Thank you, Drake, for the reminder.  And for your music, which I am addicted to.
