I am going to admit it. Like I keanu Reeves. Admittedly, also, he is not the best avtor out there. His movies, however, have often been quite entertaining and gone on to hold a deep grip in our popular culture. Many of us still quote the Matrix and […]
I think, for the most part, dogs are super excited by this massive quarantine. My dog is no exception. He is happy that his humans are around and he can just bounce from one to the other. He saunters around as if he owns the place. And, he […]
