Sorry Steve

So, funny story. We finance people went downtown to our main office this afternoon for lunch and on the way back, we started talking about that video game, Guitar Hero (which I really want to play at some point). I went into a story about how my brother Stephen and I as kids would play [...]

Desert Island, Top 10 Christmas Movies
