Hi Noreen, been working down Maverick Sq for a few months, I was pulling out on Sumner when I looked up and saw your pic on my dashboard.... So,, I took you for a ride, we went by your house up the street, stopped, looked @ the window (lousy window treatment) down the street to the Holy Redeemer for a game of Bingo, you hated Bingo, down the hill onto Maverick Street. Miss yah : ( still thinking of you, hope you enjoyed the ride : )
