Have I really neglected my blog this long? Time to catch up without too much effort. So let me throw some of it out there.

I have made some major financial changes to my life, and it feels … so good. It feels good because I’m can be a little bit of a control freak, [...]

Who is John Carter?

John Carter? Isn’t that the name of that Movie that just came out? The one that bombed? You know, the one that looks like Avatar? Well yes, the movie is out, and people are not going to see it.
