If you haven’t noticed, there are now “labels” to every post I make. If you don’t follow blogs or understand why I do that, think of it like a filing system. If I ever want to find a post (or a reader wants to find a post), it’ll be filed under one of the labels, […]

A Walk in the Rain
Within moral reason, I would do just about anything to keep the temperature at 61 degrees for the rest of February. I cannot believe the difference it makes to wake up and not have your first thought be, “Damn, it is so cold I do not want to live in Cleveland anymore.” This morning I […]
