Standing At The Crossroads, Trying To Make A Decision
Finally, right? I really tried to do this last night, but after an early morning drive from Estes Park and a full work shift, it was all I could do to shove the suitcase in a corner and flop on the bed till this morning. Plus you all made this business of picking a winner [...]
Haiku Monday Challenge – Crossroads
