Posted on June 11, 2011 by Jesse Pantuosco

Given some of the horrible weather I’ve experienced in Syracuse over the last three winters, I’ve really learned to appreciate summer time. Summer’s awesome in almost every way: the cookouts, going to beach, fourth of July fireworks, no new episodes … Continue reading →
