The Dive Guru™ — One is the loneliest number…

The Guru tries not to get in the habit of quoting hits from Three Dog Night but one truly is the loneliest number (although, to be fair, Australian legend John Farnham also covered the song, but I don’t know if that makes referencing Three Dog Night any more acceptable). Regardless, [...]
