Love the hat
Hi Brian!!! Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I missed it by about a month- I am a terrible friend, I know! Work has been crazy and I've just now caught up on the last 2 entries. The women with the brass rings are hard core. It hurts just looking at them. Had a frozen strawberry banana daquiri for ya in Vegas. Actually won some $ too. Can't wait to see what China has in store for you. I wish I could quit my job too :(
