Ah… that’s why

I think I mentioned a little while ago that I cop a surprising amount of flack as a result of things I write here. Quite often it’s about things that I never even slightly anticipated being an issue. Then last week I apparently put Sarah out quite a bit with my write up on paintball.… Read more

The history of the internet
