Post Surgery
Monologuing &bull Feb 4, 2012
Everything went fine like last time. Odd. No pain, no nothing. Except I over-slept by two hours, they wanted me out by 5:00 PM, I was woken up at 7:00 PM by the wife with her usual sarcastic banter. I don't even know what was said, but it had to be sarcastic. There is… Full Story »

That fine line. It has been crossed.
Monologuing &bull Jan 5, 2012
