Life / Universe / Everything. Long Story / Short Story. Me vs The World Rants. Saturday, January 22, 2011. Dem bones, dem bones. It's the holidays. Well it's not now but it was. And in America that means chockablock airports. It's bad enough when you're trapped and watching the idiocy unfold before you while you check your watch every ten seconds and wonder if you'll make it through security before your flight leaves. But when passengers willfully slow things down? While I'm not at all one of these folks...

Life / Universe / Everything. Long Story / Short Story. Me vs The World Rants. Friday, April 18, 2014. Long Story/Short Story: Once more into the breach, dear friends.
