I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time,

hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is

and heath and you get to the top and you're like and then you can see the breath

but then your nose is still freezing to touch.

I appreciate the opportunity to hop on here today.

actually have part of your leg removed. How did all that come about?

All right so the quickest way to tell this long story. September 6, 2011 I was active duty
