I get this progress report. He just calls me and tells me about the show, like I’m not on it. And then he ends by just like, “Ugh! That was such a good show....
I have two: Joey, who’s my orange and creamsicle kitty I rescued about 7 years ago. About a year ago I rescued another kitty, Max, and he’s a black and white tuxedo.
