I lost my faith in the Second Cup about a year ago when I wanted cheesecake. “Does it have any nuts?” I asked “I dunno. Hey, dude, does this have nuts?” The guy behind the counter turned and asked his…
Lucy’s Life Rules
Making generalizations is an inevitable part of life. When I was still young and innocent, I used to pose Great Questions that I had thought were oh-so-intellectual, but as it turns out, the rest of the world (aka philosophers) had…
