As you can probably imagine, he screamed and writhed in pain until he…

Well, the new year came without much fanfare in the Byrd household. Jimmy and I both worked, but we were still able to watch the ball drop in NYC and share some cheesecake and sparkling cider. A few minutes later I went to bed…. Jimmy had that Monday off since New Year’s Day was on…
