Fall Marriage Check-Up 2

Kerri suggested I try to put my wit to work. To that end, I provide an addendum to yesterday’s Fall Marriage Check-Up…

Headlights - Be honest… is it time for a boob job? What about a lift and tuck? Maybe some hair plugs? At least consider a little botox and a manicure. Age doesn’t do any […]
