Look, Ma! I’m on TV!
To be honest, Iwasn’t exactly on TV, but the entrance to our neighborhood was. And the old railroad trestle next to our development was. And the “Dead Man’s Curve” under the bridge was. So there. It was quite an interesting day, to say the least. My first day of my “new” normal was definitely…not.
