Dedicated
I should preface this by saying that I really don't listen to the radio that much. This puts me at quite the disadvantage whenever anyone brings up whatever the latest chart toppers might be or what artists the cool kids are all listening to these days. Maybe it's a byproduct of getting older, but I'm … Continue reading Dedicated
Question of the Week #176
Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Heck yes, I do. And not just for telephone calls.

How else will … Continue reading Question of the Week #176

Question of the Week #175
If you could mold to your liking your memories of any past experience, would you do so? This seems like an odd question. Actually, I'm not entirely sure I understand what's being asked here. Does this mean I could take some negative event in my past and alter my memories so that I remember it … Continue reading Question of the Week #175
The Hero/Villain Parley
I don't know about you, but I love it when movies or TV shows throw in scenes where the hero and the villain meet and just have a conversation. It doesn't necessarily have to be the first time these two characters come face to face, it just has to result in an interesting encounter that … Continue reading The Hero/Villain Parley
