Could it already be time to enjoy the fruits of The Smolder once again? It seems only like last week that we first fired up Roger Moore’s debut in Live and Let Die. Timothy Dalton might be known, generally, as “the people’s least favorite Bond” but among the #Bond_age_ crew, he’s nearly royalty. He may have only done two Bonds but that only increases our anticipating for the two-week-long #T_Dalt holiday. With guest host @krissy_myers taking the helm for an evening, I planned to sit back, relax and enjoy good #Bond_age_.
