Several people have been wondering what country I am in now, whether or not I sold Sara into the white slave trade, etc. Well I am in the United States and no one would buy that damn skinny useless thing but don’t think I didn’t try my hardest. Yeah, we ran outta money. Let's see. Upon returning I played fourteen games of trivial pursuit, worked crew for my dad’s show, watched Shakespeare in the Park's Taming of the Shrew with Michelle, spent some quality time with Jean, and decided it was high time I get my jobless ass to my new home.

On top of the very long list titled “Things that scare the ... read more
