This photo started it all. A good friend of mine superimposed my head on the author Nora Robert’s body. I had made mention that I admired her website and wanted to duplicate it. Not her body, just the website functionality. This is how a technology wise guy armed with Photoshop […]
When readers respond to my insanity, they are enablers of more insanity. I posed a question on Facebook on whether I should go topless at this year’s costume party with my Hottie Scottie costume. The costume package showed a young, fit and topless man in the costume. Well I am […]
