It looks great. Keep up the good work.
There are so many good shows on this season, it is really hard to pick a few since I am trying hard not to watch show after show. So Dancing with the Stars is not on my list.
Everything takes me longer than I anticipate! Love the listing of all the definitions of one of my favorite words.
