I was perusing various listings on Craigslist and it occurred to me that this is where all the lewdness, crudeness, and idiocy-laden cruelty has moved to now that bathroom stalls are not nearly as viable places to spread such nonsense. Why limit your message to the clientèle of a given restaurant, high school, or public […]

In early 1996, I started my admittedly shameful record of dental appointments. Well, that is if you ignore the three year interval between the previous visit whilst on my old man’s work insurance, and the self-funded trip of May 1996.
