Come on.
Everyone’s a little glum when January rolls around.
Not that it’s January yet.
But it’s like you can’t help it. Imagining the glum feeling in mid-December is almost impossible. Then it arrives like a cloud of heavy feelings and extra weight.
I was in the post office and the song “Come on Eileen” started on [...]

…okay, I’m having trouble coming up with post Christmas posts so I just wanted to point any interested writers to Miss Snark’s blog.

Or just annoying. We’ll see how it plays here.

…Dumb or Dumber.

but cliche’s? Got any?

was in E (Entertainment, Education, and Employment) Resource, not the City Paper as was reported to me earlier this weekend! Still, very good news.
Though Bill was pissed about the essay.

I disagree.
Others I know disagree with him, too.
He was not particularly loquacious after reading it.
Ahhh, the risks of [...]

Loquacious–”Very Talkative”
Use it today. Let me know if you manage to do so!
