Because I only live in Virginia and, clearly, only care about what happens in my own little universe. But, … Continue reading Primary Colors

Question of the Week #120
Would you accept $10,000 to shave your head and continue your normal activities sans hat or wig without explaining the reason for your haircut? I feel like this would be a harder question for a woman to answer. For me, no doubt in my mind. I'd shave my head for a lot less than ten … Continue reading Question of the Week #120

Before Seeing Wonder Woman
I'm excited. I'm not sure how to properly form words and sentences to convey how excited I am about this movie coming out. I'll be going to see it tonight at 7:30 p.m. And then I will experience, what I assume will be, roughly two and a half hours of awesomeness.
