The ghost of Christmas Past called me this last weekend. She was coming to Jersey and wanted to meet me. I just thank God Ed gave me fair warning so I was ready for it (even though i firmly believed I'd never hear from her).

Apparently they ( Read more... )

I had to go up to Rhode Island this past weekend for "training" so that I could be ready for my impending move to California. The training itself was pretty forgettable, but a few things did stand out ( Read more... )
