Nasty Nighttime Visitor
I was getting ready to sleep. Beddin’ down is what I tell the dogs when it’s bedtime. I get comfy and turn the bed lamp off. Inteliperra asleep under the bedside table, Buenagente sprawled out on the sofa and me in bed with my Kindle. I was watching a halfway funny video of people scaring […]
