    Jun 5 2021

    In honor of National Best Friends Day (June 8th), we are playing a game to see how well we really know each other.   We ask questions and guess how the other person will answer.   You'll hear stories about embarrassing moments, fashion mistakes, favorite songs, who we would invite to a dinner party, and what we'd do if we had $5,000 to spend in an hour.  We also envision what we'll be doing together 30 years in the future.  

    Play with YOUR BFF! Here's our list of questions:
