I should have paid more attention to the revealer and gone back to look at the theme answers, then it's possible I'd have caught my errors, but I'll own them. I'll have a CLARET a little later, but it's unlikely I'll be able to taste it. I haven't tasted anything since last Saturday, but hopefully that changes soon.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-74983068830663613942020-04-16T19:49:27.207-04:002020-04-16T19:49:27.207-04:00LOL, Brandon!
