Swearing is Caring by Misbehavin' Maidens For those curious, the above-embedded tune from my friends the Misbehavin’ Maidens is the source of today’s title, though, per the navigation app estimates I just made, my trip is going to be 555 miles…I won’t quibble over 45 miles, which is probably what I’ll end up walking this […]

Having finished that class I took the last two weeks, I went back to the usual office grind on Monday, to get some good news, mostly hassle, and finding that nobody feels like answering their email or voice mail. Grrrr. The good news, that I keep hanging onto, is the fact that I only have […]

So, by the time this posts, it’ll be my birthday. Hello, 45. I don’t feel old, until I sprain something by tripping over nothing. Still, I *am* in better shape than I was when I was twenty, which I guess says something. Tomorrow is the last day of the class I’ve found myself in for […]
