  • Hello Robert / Afippa!

    Congratulations on being the Player in the Spotlight! Enjoyed reading your bio; Jesus is my hero, too. :) Sorry you don’t like Rush. I haven’t listened to him for a few years now. I often like what he has to say, but he gets on my nerves after a while. ;) I enjoy Dice City Roller, too. It’s a fun game. ;)
