High-five! 2014 came with grand celebration. One day in and there’s already much to see, plan and do. Today the new Mayor of New York City took office pledging universal pre-kindergarten and increased taxation on the rich (defined as making $500,000 or more a year) that basically amounts […]
After what seemed like an eternity The morning light broke through And the snow on the ground rested perfectly The christmas tree lights went on And up rose the toddler with his pitter patter His eyes widely dancing to a merry song Santa drank the milk and ate […]
I was once scared and vain Didn’t know what to expect Didn’t think I could make it through the pain There were no stories of lore To fully prepare for such a fiery love effect That radiantly gleams like a gold doubloon on the ocean floor Like a […]
Chicken meth is what’s for dinner while wife swapping: wackiness abounds As I write this, my eyes are laboring to stay open. The two passionfruit mojitos really hit me with a one, two sucker punch. So what it’s only 2pm. It’s been a rough long week. It seems […]
