Becky Loves Me was a band a couple of my friends were in during the early 90’s. They had a great line in one of their songs that went like this, “Sorry, Sir, I didn’t know you had to sell your dream… just to have a life.” It is easy for us to fall into […]
My first car was army green and was dubbed by my friends as “the Turtle” and was also affectionatly the “Green M&M”. The cool thing about that car was that it was a stick shift, very economical, got great gas mileage and was so easy to use. If you know anything about cars, stick shifts
