I Hate To Break It To You, But…

We are a mass of contradictions. Most of us become so accustomed to it over time, that it passes for normal. But every so often an over-used phrase gets stuck in my head and hurts like the time Paul Anka’s “You’re Havin’ My Baby” came to live in my skull for a solid month. Of […]

Hey, Mr. Answer Man!
