Birthday Wishes

I just want to take a moment to make send a very special birthday wish out to the lovely Miss Possible. Who, despite all of our issues with a certain piece of jewelry, is still my loving Fiancee who I care for so much. Happy Birthday Little Monks.

Finally!

It’s about damn time. Tomorrow is the 31st of July, and let me say that I can’t wait. I’m not going to go on the record and say that this was the worst July of my life — because I think that’s certainly reserved for the tragic July 1990 when I found myself driving an [...]
