When this came out, I wasn't expecting to get this old. But here I am. And feeling the exact same way about things. That's a hopeful sign, right? "Let...
And that's the most controversial part of my comment you can find? I think you must have got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. Have you check...
I have an Apple phone, so (1) is impossible. My first thought would be that I had got out of bed the wrong side, so I would try genital recognition an...

I'd like to join in the mutual appreciations; I've got a deal of reading up to do, and things to think about, and thanks for that. I would have been a...
