Logged, thank you sir!
Love the passion.
Thank you!
Charlee: “Yay Lynx! Cats for the win! Woo-hoo!”
Lulu: “Hmph.”
Such a contentious pair.
Examined heart and soul. Sent off samples for DNA research. Checked my last complete metabolic panels and CBC results. Nothing I can find tells me why I cannot muster the least enthusiasm for WNBA. In fairness, I don’t like the real NBA at all either. All I can muster is “Meh.”
No problem at all! I’m probably the weird one for covering the WNBA, but I just don’t get into baseball.
Great game, well done, good luck and have a nice day
Thank you! The same to you!
