Now Thats Awkward

We've all been there. Not necessarily with a french horn. Regardless, I'm speaking of the AWKWARD STAGE. Longer for some, and for an unfortunate few indefinitely present. So lets here it... your best "awkward look" or "phase" you went... or are still coping with.

Pretty much every Halloween I decide to be Mary Katherine Gallagher... you must admit I come pretty close to the real deal... SUPERSTAR!!!

Dear Friends,

Ok so I have had a few requests for me to write a 'Rickards Family Christmas Letter'... so lets have a vote. If I am to take my precious time and invest it into a letter of unnecessary family updates and cyncial humor of the holiday's slap in the face cheer... I want to make sure people would enjoy it... so let me know whats up.
