Horrid, Hideous, and Never-Ending…

If I only had me to support, I’d have quit today.  If I had a publishing contract, I might have taken a chance, jumped off the “security” cliff and bet on growing wings on the way down.  If I’d already bought the new-to-me car I’m going to have to have… Usually I’m not the complaining […]
