Now. What Shall We Talk About?
Hi, Blogosphere. Hey. Thanks for seeing me on such short notice. You paid me to show up. Er…yeah. Um…Okay. ”Heh, heh, heh… Now. What shall we talk about? Heh, heh, heh.” Why are you wheezing?

Happy Day
So, today is my birthday. It’s one of those “milestone” birthdays that you either try to ignore, or celebrate intensely to dull the pain.
