PLAYING FAVORITES: Sly & The Family Stone – Thank You Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Again (A Quick Update & Thank You)
So the big thing here with this post is I want to say, “thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” to everyone who’s stopped by here over the last year. I just hit a thousand views a few days ago, something that I never imagined would happen.
That being said, I’m on vacation for the next two weeks so expect my posts to be a lot more sporadic. If I can, I’ll still try to get around to doing daily posts but expect some radio silence on my end.
Seriously again, I’m so grateful to everyone who’s even just poked around on my page. I hope you enjoyed it and look forward to more posts from me soon.
Sincerely,
Sean
