“Where have you gone Mo Livin’ Large?”
I moved. I changed jobs. I was ill… good God was I ill. I was also lazy, uninspired when I wasn’t lazy, my laptop is infected with malware, my desktop’s video card blew up and while I have a replacement (thanks, E and C) I have no idea how to replace it (yes, yes, I […]
“If it’s the Psychic Network, Why Do They Need A Phone Number?”
~ Robin Williams As many of you noticed, I took a rather long… siesta from blogging, and as I mentioned in last week’s post, I had some personal issues I’m dealing/struggling with. And we all have these issues, I know. Where you feel as if life is passing you by, or you’re going through the […]

An Open Letter From Jen to… well, Everyone!
Jen does an awesome job of introducing herself so without further ado…. My first (though hopefully not only) guest blogger, Jen. I asked Mo sometime ago if I could post something on her blog and she said "sure". It's long over due I tell the world how amazingly wonderful she is. I've known Mo since […]
