OK, today has been declared, by me – rapid fire gripe day… so here goes. I was just thinking, before I go on…. please understand, never is the litany of my gripes an attempt to burden anyone with my grief – instead, it’s an attempt to UN-burden myself.

Perhaps you’ve heard this cornball parable before if not, read on, if so, read on anyways… suck it up, it’s not going to kill you… I thought the story apt for both me and you dear reader, because most of us come into contact with Mules daily and so the story would really hit home … Continue reading
