Quick Note: Yes, this article is going to be a two part-er. How exciting is that? It’s like in the show 24 when you’re left anticipating the next episode to see what happens. This is going to be just like that... minus the anxiety or the question of why does Jack Bauer always end up in such … [Read more...]
Merry Christmas… you got a problem with that?
It is official; I have been infected. No, it’s not anything that requires a trip to the pharmacy... not that I would go anyway, because I’m way too cheap for medicine.
