Resolutions

As we start winding down and rubbing our eyes incredulous at our surviving yea, another year…Those closest to me know that it’s been a doosey. No doubt the following year will bring about another set of accomplishments and disappointments but I wanted to tackle the beauty and the essence of 2005. In the words of [...]

Why Birthdays Suck After Puberty

This year was just as disappointing as the last and the one prior and the one before that. Why? Let’s just say that the magic for birthdays is long gone. There is no mystery, no buildup.

To Santa Claus and Good Doggies
