Summer Cuts
Every other week, often on a Saturday (and often just after he's finished washing up the brunch dishes) Martin will turn to me and ask me if I'm ready for him. *smirks* I respond with a mais oui, and clear some room in the middle of the floor while he retrieves the black case from the … [Read more...]
