Of Mice and Men
The best-laid plans. Seldom does anything go according to plan. I planned to be retired by 53. I also planned on till death do us part. Well, forces beyond my control changed those plans. Mur...
Being Literal in a Virtual World
Full discloser: I tend to take this whole literal thing way too far, but it helps defeat the boredom. Some once said variety is the spice of life. If that is true I am about as exciting as vani...
