An Anticipated Good Riddance in My Paper Chase
Gloria and I had lunch today, as we seemingly do at least once a week. Since neither one of us has much of an appetite these days, we tend to share meals. At most, we each get a drink of our o...

The first of what I anticipate will be multiple office e-mails regarding next week's planned Trunk-Or-Treat festivities was sent early this morning. I briefly glanced at the e-mail and promptl...
