I’m probably going to get into trouble for posting this, but I couldn’t resist.
If you are a music fan you’ve probably heard the song by now. The final Beatles single was released earlier today. The tune is pleasant enough, but I’m struggling with the band label attached to it. Just because each member of the Fab Four played on it doesn’t make it a Beatles tune to me. […]
I hate returning items to the store that haven’t lived up to expectations. I resent the time and hassle. Why couldn’t they get it right the first time? When I had to return some sunflower seeds to my local bulk food store, it seemed to me somewhat of an imposition. I don’t eat sunflower seeds. […]

Hopefully in the near future I’ll get my rhythm back and some of the posts I have been working on will show up here. Maybe when the rain stops.
