  • Not one quixotic post about politics, but...

Enjoy your weekend, wherever you are.  Ciao.

(Ok now?)  [I guess. -ed.]


*These include mostly lazily "analyzing" outdated news, trying unsuccessfully to sound snarky, failing to change the world, Quixotism, and generally droning on self-importantly.
