It has been … More Catty New Year
Let me be perfectly clear: I do believe in a Higher Power. I say this because so many people assume that if you’re not Christian, you’re either atheist or Satanic. I am neither, and vehemently. I’ve always teetered back and forth on exactly how Christian I was (or wasn’t). At 13, in the middle of … More Losing (not)my religion

…Such as music. I am among those heathen pirates mentioned on the evening news just often enough to scare anyone younger than 14 and older than 60. I’ve been at it for 10 years already. It’s like a long-term relationship. I remember acquiring my first batch of tunes. A friend sort of hooked me up … More The best things in life are free…
Despite the fact that it really is the killer app for the early 20th century, I am really starting to regard the telephone with a look of contempt. Not necessarily one for letter-writing myself, I do enjoy receiving handwritten letters in the mail, and I will write back. Ideally, I prefer to meet the person … More Can you hear me now?
I loathe driving. So much so, that I used to race around as fast as I could, so that I could arrive at my destination and be done driving ASAP. I thought I was saving precious time. The reality? I wasn’t. It took me 22 minutes to get from my driveway to the Royal Lane … More Sweet(er) Ride

Every year like clockwork, the mainstream media suddenly start harping on the flu shot, headline-style. Out of nowhere, it seems to leapfrog directly to the head of the class, and have you noticed that it usually does so at the beginning of the month? Kind of like it was…dare I say it…planned?
