When he released “Maria” –… Read more »
As readers of the blog may know, I planned a whirlwind trip to the Nordic Countries and Germany earlier in the summer. And now, I’m sitting with less than 48 hours before I get on the plane to fly to Copenhagen. I’m excited to be going and getting out into the world again to explore. I’m grateful for the opportunity… Read more »
