Once upon a time, as a young teenage lad, I had a driving lesson from a strange man who reminded me of John Travolta. Or fat Elvis. Or both. I was somewhat weirded out by this odd man with his flashy gold chains. Even worse, he made driving a somewhat painful and awkward experience. So [...]
Teenagers. What a mess. Seriously. What is wrong with those things?? Seems like they’re always in a heap of depressive overemotionalism. Or they’re brooding silently ready to snap at any moment.

Fortunately the news was to the contrary, and quite positive. “We have some [...]
Monkey Business
