A stupid idea

Posted on November 18, 2016 by thepogblog

The three legged donkey

Posted on October 3, 2016 by thepogblog

Oh lordy.  I’ve seen a video of myself running.  This is not good. I started running 5 months ago.  I was warned by my sisters over the years never to do so in public, and I didn’t.  But I was … Continue reading →
