They’d generally be right about the humbug thing, but not in this case, as this post has nothing to do with the season. It’s just my way of remembering how great The X-Files often was: Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all […]

As alluded to in the last post with the kitten, the stress levels I’m dealing with are through the roof at the moment. For all kinds of reasons. This time, all that stress is going straight to my head, providing sustenance and power to those gnomes in my frontal lobe with the pneumatic hammers…you know […]

Last week, my 13 year old daughter and I were talking a bit about what “the kids these days” are listening to. I’m genuinely curious about these things, having several of my own kids these days, and interacting with others on a regular basis. I also desperately don’t want to become old and totally detached […]

Not feeling particularly profound today, but I thought since I was getting back into the routine everywhere else, I might as well do it here by posting something.
