A certain number of things about Ashley Bryan

I am going to try and out-do Trent. I woke up way early, before the kids. So I may just have the time!

1. I buy Bit O Honey candy wherever I can find it, it reminds me of my childhood.

5. I don't like watching movies in the theater.

33. College never challenged me. Wow, that sounded really stuck up! But I stand by my statement.
