People Will Surprise You
It really is funny how life’s odd moments can sneak up on you. I actually had someone famous in my house tonight.
You know the song “Eye of the Tiger”? Of course you do. Well, a member of the band who does that song, Survivor, Chris Grove, was a friend of my uncle Chuck who died last year. He came to the funeral and everything. This year he came out ( Read more... ) -
