When it comes to romantic proposals, I have to admit that I’m not that good at them. Oh, I can dream up an idea or two, that’s not the problem. The problem lies in execution. When I decided that the time was right to ask Dawne to marry me, I almost stalled the whole process [...]
A Review of Flower for the PS3

Sometimes, you just need to walk away from everything and de-stress. That’s what Dawne and I have been doing for the last few months, in theory at least, but it is now time to re-emerge from our little hole and say hello again.
