So I meant to write the weekly “It’s Sunday & I’m Boring” post last night but I got caught up in the “Downton Abbey” finale and then some other stuff that I can’t remember. This is what I started about my boring Sunday: As far as boring Sundays go, I really out did myself this week. If there were an Academy Award for Boringness, I would be nominated in every category and I would win each one. I was super…
There was a point in time where my CD collection was a thing of pride & joy. I displayed the shiny jewel cases in wooden racks that were placed all around the living room of my apartment.

Like, dude gets all the attention because it’s the first time in like four-hundred years that a pope resigned. Whatever. My announcement has to do with something that I can do for the first time since about 1992. So yeah, it’s not like a once every four-hundred years kind of announcement, but still.
