Conversation Agent has a timely question.

Are You a Social Capitalist?


Cubicle Nation has a reponse to life’s changing terrain.
I was halfway through writing on another topic when I got this call on my cellphone.

Is life just one damn thing after another?

Related ala carte selections include

The Snowboard, the Subdural Hematoma, and the Secret of Life
