This Week

The definition of insanity. Let's try it one more time. I was sitting in my office one day when I heard a little pop and my chair went back about an inch. I didn't really think anything about it, if it was only going to go an inch, who cares?  So I was sitting there talking to somebody and back I went, flipped straight back, feet in the air, actually landed on my knees, a full 180, looked like the Marx Brothers.

This Week

Prove them wrong, every last one of them! I get email or Facebook or Twitter posts all the time from people telling me stories or telling me web pages to go see. Sometimes I get ones where there's a series of cats doing dumb things or paintings of Jesus by 3 year olds or their vacation to West Memphis.
