I loved Wham! I loved George Michael. But, I didn’t really know much about Andrew Ridgely. I hadn’t focused on him during my Wham! fandom phase. Actually, that phase has yet to end. On a whim, I decided to watch the Wham! documentary on Netflix, and I was […]
I love working out. I often begrudgingly wake up early to go work out. I either go for a 60-minute walk or 45 minutes on the elliptical. Once I’m working out, I get pumped and jazzed. Sometimes working out longer than originally intented. Why do I get so […]
