I don’t know if my assailant thinks what he did was assault. I wonder if he realizes how incredibly stupid he was, and how terribly lucky he is?Continue reading “Violence”

Okay, so I read one of my daily blogs last night. Guy was talkin’ about a meme that he’d gotten involved in. Basically it works like this… you make a comment on the guy’s blog, and he then assigns you a letter. You’re supposed to come up with 10 words that begin with that letter,Continue reading “The “L” Word”

I’m not sure why I get this way… I literally go through cycles where I can get up in front of church and do anything… and then become totally afraid toContinue reading “Getting case of the nerves!”

Well, it’s been a LONG time since I posted here last. It’s been nearly 3 months, and they’ve been incredibly eventful… though from this post it may not seem to be. Busy, mostly. After my trip to New Jersey, I was immersed in my work… far too immersed. My associate’s (“Tom’s”) departure in mid-November tripledContinue reading “Long Past Due”
