Bert’s Back with a Book

By | March 19, 2020

It’s been a while. I apologize for that. I’d like to promise it won’t happen again, but I can’t make guarantees. Life gets busy. Nevertheless, I like to think we have the type of relationship that we can pick up right where we left off months or years ago, as if we never left. That… Read More »

I was always a diligent student, and I do really well with assignments. I’m curious as to what post ideas you would find interesting, funny, helpful, etc., since you’re reading them, not me.

By | March 11, 2016
