with english subtitles — when i was little, like about 12, i used to stay home and watch a lot of tv/movies. shows like gilligan’s island, gidget, i dream of jeannie, partridge family, charlie brown, the movie called ‘the pajama game’ and on and on blah blah blah. i used to sit and watch…

Stories matter and I invite you to share yours in the comments!! i like to hear pointless stories from people’s lives. here is one of mine. i invite you to share yours. tell me a story about something that happened to you that helped make you YOU. …
