Last week, my BFF calls me (I think she's making sure I'm not slitting my wrists or eating an entire bottle of pills) and we chat and next thing I know she's talking about kidnapping me that weekend.
She arrived at 9am Saturday morning and whisked me away to Galena, IL. It's about a 2 hour drive - and at one point I considered jumping out of the moving vehicle while she pressed on and made me reach so far into my brain that I thought I'd get lost in there.

Listen here Hefty-Boy. I also have the option of punching you in the face.
I'm certain I saw him later in the chocolate shop buying his weight in fudge with a fistful of $10 bills.
