First Impressions

AI-Written

The name Grover occupies two completely separate cultural corners: a Gilded Age president and a frantic blue monster on public television. In everyday life, the name belongs primarily to men in their sixties who were named well before children's television took an interest. It carries the weight of dark walnut furniture and heavy overcoats. It is difficult to say in a hurry.
