The Best Thing About Being My Age
Please excuse the title, which feels at least a little like it could have been the proposed title for a creative writing project for a group of 7-year-olds, but it feels like the best title for the job. It's not, I know, but it's my blog and I don't care. I just wanted to share …

This evening, I kicked off with a few hobbies I've neglected lately, starting brewing some wine and juggling some fire on the beach. It's amazing … -

40 Days On Facebook
I've been playing with Facebook for the last 40 days or so, to see if it's any good. Here's some of the things I've observed that I like (and don't like) about it, followed by my conclusions:
