Most Wednesdays are spent with my mother. She has seized control of my blog. She is quite proud of that fact.

I am occasionally.. ah.. grumpy. There will be rants about things that absolutely do not matter.

I champion elder rights. You want to rile me up? You just show some disrespect to seniors. For the most part, you have time on your side, please show them patience. You'll need that karma on the flip side.
