Forward

May 20th, 2021 I won’t forget 2020 for a number of reasons. For all of the reasons, honestly.

And that’s not hyperbole or an exaggeration; allow me to explain why. Immediately, Hastings is a splash of cold, stunning water when you arrive. It’s the kind ofContinue reading “I Heart Tomicon”
