  6. Hi AJ.
    The multiple choice was a great way to re-introduce yourself, but since it's my first time meeting you, I was totally lost!
    I also love Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone... and enjoy all types of music too.
    Great to meet you.

    1. Time travel does seem like a never ending job. I'm pretty forgetful; I might not be that good at it. I would be leaving stuff in every decade. Hopefully, if I was ever given this power, I would also get the benefit of being immune to the butterfly effect. Otherwise, it would be disastrous. haha Thanks for stopping by, and for the follow.

  17. Your answer to number six made me laugh! I guess I'll pull for the 49ers, but only because I could never root for the Ravens.

  19. Admiring the hard work you put into your blog and in depth information you offer.

    It's good to come across a blog every once in a
    while that isn't the same unwanted rehashed material.
    Great read! I've bookmarked your site and I'm including your RSS feeds to
    my Google account.
