nineteen years of ike-zilla
hard to believe it, but this guy has been on the scene for nineteen whole years. for his birthday, he arranged a flag football game with an assortment of his pals. then, as sometimes happens in January, the weather was quite uncooperative. but, they found a time to squeeze it in, despite the frigid temps, […]
