  1. I guess I had not realized that this was 2010/11. Maybe I should have read more carefully but I think in sports so the GB/Pitt reference made it clear. You have held onto these texts for some time!

    Glad you had a good V Day (year before last)!

  2. Happy Spring, Ryan! I’m only a year off! Gives me a little perspective? I am a digital pack rat. Since I don’t have to hide from Hubby, I keep almost everything. And read it over when I am missing Phil…

  3. Well I guess that gives you a cushion to go out and do something wild and exotic if things ever go south for you and Phil!

  4. Any suggestions? 😉
