Just took our annual trip to #AbbysLegendaryPizza.
If you are lucky enough to live near one of these blessed restaurants, go. Now. Right now. Drop what you are doing and partake of the pizza of the GODS.
Seriously, Abbys, you need a Seattle area location. Immediately.

I used to listen to the Jim Dale audiobooks one a year. But after you showed your true colors, I GAVE my copies to a used bookstore.

Gabriel, the Lord of Angels in #FlameAndClaw is almost more a force of nature than a character. Arrogant, elemental, and possessed of an overwhelming presence.
