I went back to my handsome Cowboy-Dental-Surgeon a week ago to have the hole in my head fixed. You may recall that I broke a tooth last Spring while eating some salad and it had to be pulled. In case you’ve forgotten what he looks like, here’s a little reminder. I tried to live with …
I unfriended two facebook friends this week-end, a rare occurrence for me. One is of no consequence, a random facebook dude I kept bumping into via the posts of a mutual friend. He seemed harmless enough initially but as it turns out, he is a right-winged anomaly amid a sea of lefties, his main purpose …
