Control and the gym
I’ve never been a gym rat. Not even close. In fact, I’d be the exact opposite of whatever a gym rat might be. A practice room flamingo perhaps. The point being, I’m not terribly athletic, have never really felt the …
As God as my witness, I’ll never do that again
Go to Costco on a Sunday. I know better, I really do, but…what was I thinking? Insane with a huge helping of OMGREALLY? Play two church services the morning of the Spring Forward! side of Daylight Savings. At the tail end of …
Dear (hack) (cough) (snort)
Dear Virus From Hell That Seems To Have Taken Up Permanent Residence In My Body, You’re not welcome here. It’s been ten days; either knock me out cold for a few days or leave. This dragging on is wearing thin. …
