I Effin’ Love Me Some Summer BBQ!
August 26th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayAin’t much better in the world than a weekend bbq. I know I love coffee. I know I drink a lot of it.

Love Is Easy Like Sunday Morning
August 14th, 2011 by Joshua MurrayI’m easy like Sunday morning. I have no idea why “easy like Sunday morning” popped into my head today. Same way I don’t know why I was awake at 7:45am.
