Now you and Phil just have to teach us the top secret married-people handshake.

At 3:50pm on June 25, 2011, Steven M Fletcher said…: I did try to go by today but there is a big fence around the property and no one answered when i yelled from the gate. I am trying that avenue first. I hope they are considerate enough to listen to reason first. but in the event they arent i was wondering if there was a number to call and get some action. backup measure. thanks for asking.. I am trying even tho they arent.

I was doing really well, but (I think while you were honeymooning) I felt like I was the only one doing it, so I kinda slipped a bit. But I'm back now! yay! p.s. model fries, tales from thailand and meeting in real life son!
