Sometimes I actually wish there was a camera crew following me around because of the ridiculous stuff that happens around me.  I know I write about a lot of it, but this morning was something else. I slept in until about 7 am because we went to The Capital Grille for dinner last night with some friends and got home late.  Then, I woke up with a terrible pain in my trap/shoulder and couldn’t turn…

Loose ends are just that, they’re loose and messy and will inevitably eat away at you until you decide to finally deal with them and “tie them up”.
