I’ve yet to post a pic of my morning mocha latte and blueberry artisan scones on FR.
Probably for the best since I’m so clumsy I’d drop it in the river.
Seriously, my 30 something year-old son is a high level tech guy in his corp. A group of his peers had dinner together one night and one of them was posting about it on facebook but could not find a FB account for my son.
