I first … Continue reading The Last Frontier

So Long, 2013…
...don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. It seems like I am not alone in bidding au revoir, good riddance, and GTFO to 2013- I know lots of the folks in my social circles, as well as plenty of folks I know only tangentially, have had a rough time … Continue reading So Long, 2013…
