The enemy of a good blog posting is the desire to create a great blog posting. All winter I’ve been avoiding posting blogs to Carry Tiger to Mountain because as time passed, it seemed to be more and more important to post something of great meaning. So while I was procrastinating, a bunch of drug dealers used my blog’s comment section to arrange some deals, and I had to turn the comments off until I can figure out how to erase the 68 messages they left. They were even polite enough to thank me. Kids these days. Anyway, my point is, I had to write something completely stupid so I could break the inertia of not writing here, so, well, here it is.
Thanks!
