Damn, Phil...what a metamorphosis!
If I could afford it, I would spend 3-4 days with you; I could come out looking like I did 20+ years ago! A lil' surprised the owner didn't wait for real spring in NY/NJ. Hope you all stay snow & salt free for the rest of the season. Glad you are back, as sponsor. Titz Work, imo! BR,mD

I think I need a 3-4 day makeover.
Great write-up and pics. I think I may have to try some of those brushes, mine are worn out. |
