To my friends, both real and online, that do me the honor of reading this, I wish you all a very happy new year. I could not ask for better people than the half dozen of you that I “see” every day. You could not be more special, or more important to me, and I…
So, it’s 2:00 PM and I’m just getting up a bit ago. Sounds like a good start to a weekend, right? Well, it would have been if I was gettiing up at 2 after going to bed at, say, 2 AM? But being at work until 6, in bed by 6:30 doesn’t make for a…
