Mad Men and the End of Linsanity

On March 16, 2012April 10, 2013 By Glenn NelsonIn Hoops, Race and Sports, Sports2 Comments

Of King James, Dexter and a Culture of Comeuppance

Sparrow on a stick for #WildlifeWednesday. Soaring into the weekend on #FlybyFriday like ... It's a bird, it's a plane. It's #WildlifeWednesday. A #FoxyFriday cuteness alert! 🦊 We have done an important, essential thing at @seattleaudubon this week: we've gone down the path of removing "Audubon" from our name.

Kit at play on #FoxyFriday 🦊 May we all be as adept at entertaining ourselves!
