Major Woods presented a matter-of-fact commentary on his experiences growing up on the farm near Valdosta, Georgia. He talked about his early … Continue reading →
Setting up Jeff calling Nikki for the first time since 1979 (it’s now 1992). It’s either coming together very well or all crap. Funny how it always seems as if it’s one or the other, rarely something in the middle. On the bright side, if the first million words are … Continue reading →
