I've only been in there once, and I was fourteen at the time, knee deep into my freshman year of high school. Funny how your "ME"lio-centric view of the universe changes when you find out your grandmother is in a hospital bed.
Been kind of speechless lately- maybe because I'm from the Thumper school of thought that says "you don't have nothin' nice to say, don't say nothin' at all."
