  • Used To Be Better

    I feel there used to be more news we could use and maybe it’s not Dave’s fault there is more media coverage available about these therapies, but now it’s more about the politics of it all. I’m sure that’s interesting enough to some people, but not me. And dude. Grow up and lose the backward baseball cap.
