Bye Bye Baby

"Bye bye, baby" Cybil says as she walks out the door. You can bet that Hollywood looks oh-so-good, much better than it ever has before.

Hello, My Treacherous Friends

Sitting for lunch in a square in this town (this town that I’m new to), new fellow from my new town sat me down and explained it to me: how when I spin from him I spin from myself, the center can double the speed of the crust. Thank you, my treacherous friends. I’m cringing […]
