“Panta Rhei” said Heraclitus… everything flows, and you cannot step twice into the same stream… S(om)etimes, okay…nearly ALL the time, people just crack me up. “OMG! Look at your abs! How old are you?” thundered the likely (obviously) intoxicated voice from a female fellow hot-springer at the Pagosa Hot Springs Resort this past Sunday. “Uhhh…in […]
