Hello, happy month of July.

Happy very belated 4th of July. Happy summer.

I wish you a happy viewing of the tour to France as we zero in on this final week.

in a separate pool among friends, I started the month of July with Jonas in yellow

when they finally reach Paris. Who knows? What I do know is that one of our best guests is back on

He and I both took on the 350, the XL.

So in this conversation, we share trials and tribulations of the balm He and I both took on the 350, the XL.

Things have not gotten any simpler at home.

He has four children, in which they partake in something like 45 sports.

Baseball, skiing, soccer, you name it.

He's usually there some afternoon or evening.
