Another interesting person…
ANOTHER INTERESTING PERSON. I met a guy this morning who’s definitely “a person of interest.” As those of you who subscribe to my blog already know, I’m as interested in meeting people on our Journey as I am in seeing the sights through our commercial bus size windshield.
