***> Incoming? GRAIL? ABSOLUTELY! DROP MIC. BOOM! <***
Okay, okay, I normally don't get quite as excited, but please excuse my over enthusiastic tone on this one.
This one has been a L O N G journey to say the least. A lot of frustration, disappointment, broken promises, AD games, Boutique games, typical BS and I could go on for another paragraph but won’t. As in life however, patience pays off (eventually—well, sometimes). There is a twist to the plot as well, which is why it ended up truly being an ultimate piece for me. Only clue: TRF first. Stay tuned gentlemen this one will be worth the checking back for...Friday FedEx come to papa. |

Can't wait to see it Paul and huge congrats! One thing I know is if you are saying it is a grail and had a tortuous journey I can only imagine what it is! The best things in life often are the ones we wait and fight for. Cheers,

Thank you guys for enjoying the wait with me--very kind words from all (and good guesses--but Brandon you will be disappointed :-)
This is a GOOD sign! |
