My Friend Amy Sent me a PSL Care Package from New York

My friend Amy is pretty awesome. I don’t think she hears that often enough. I don’t think she believes it to be true. So I am putting it on the official record. I have known Amy since at least 1975 so I should know. Recently, she asked me – oh so innocently – if i […]
