“I love a challenge.” It’s the rallying cry behind a lot of crappy decisions. Let’s take the morally questionable and sexually philanthropic decade that I like to refer to as “My 20s.” There were certainly more than a few challenges during that time of my life, but most of my friends and I seemed to…
Surviving the holidays is truly a miracle
Many, many years ago, when the world was young and full of hope (I’m talking like 1983), we had four distinct seasons. You could practically set your watch by them.
