Mark redecorated the workout area, and I have just noticed. He said, “If I can’t hang this (my UMB Bank high school basketball feature athlete drawing) here then where can I hang it? We might as well just throw it away.” Fair point (I mean, Mark is the best b-ball player to ever reside in this household to date).
