If you haven’t noticed (and how could you not?), I haven’t posted here in a long time. Well, I won’t be posting here anymore from now on. If you follow me on Twitter or somewhere else, however, you will know where to find me. Even if you don’t, it won’t be hard to find me. [...]

Here I am, once again slipping in an OSF post at the last minute. This weeks theme is The Divas. Y’all know by now that when I kick it old school, I kick it real old school. So, here’s one of the originals, Billie Holiday, kicking it mellow.
