Vietnamese pork chops

Well day 3 of Jeff’s 12 day coast to coast business trip.  Right now sitting in a hotel in New York, exhausted, overworked, and still underpaid.  The other joy is I am lacking the rental car (other guy I am traveling with has it) and I am miles away from the nearest train station to […]
