Why, why, why?
Why do birds fly? Why do ducks quack? Why is water wet? Man, I don’t know. I just do. 😄 I guess the most straightforward answer would be I enjoy the creative process, interacting with others, and hopefully making their day a little better. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a nap to get…
