I think I’m going to Town tonight to groove to Tony Moran along with my friend OMG DJ TM™ and his not-to-be-recognized-as-partner, “long-time friend” Timmy. Good Christian heterosexuals would have us refer to them that way to reduce their discomfort…

Make the world go away

I’m going to take a cue from one of my co-workers and stay home tomorrow. His plan is to vote and curl up with some good science/fantasy fiction. Something taking place in a kindgom far, far away. I plan the same thing, vote, and finish off a fictional parable about economics.
