To me, the thing that's the most frustrating about the current front office is that it is so demonstrably competent in some ways, far more so than its predecessors going back to the early 90s.

In my book they are very hard to take.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
