Got print? "Start" the presses may be a bit of a stretch given I've written for at least two publications that have "stopped" them. Let's not get too critical now. I only contributed relevant, engaging and I might even add humorous content at times. As for my current publisher...well, let's just keep that between us.

To the very contrary of the "R" word , I've been slightly overwhelmed with deadlines. I'm sure you've noticed a "repurposing" of recent popular episodes. Knowing you're clever enough to deduce the meaning of the "R" in the title, things have been quite, dare I say, busy of late. No need for concern, I am w...

Choosing the proper schooling for one's future success is quite a feat. Somehow, I managed multiple colleges and some very "sobering" testing performances. Blame and embarrassment... well, you'll just have to listen.
