This past weekend I skipped my college reunion. Not a startling decision considering I just am not into things like that. I stay in touch with the people I wish to. I suppose it could be nice to see how some people changed. But inevitably it’s almost always […]
Several years back a work colleague displayed what, at the time, I considered to be a slightly odd quirk. I didn’t think too much of it but it had made me think the person was overly cautious. Having grown up in New York I understood on a DNA […]
