What to do in the morning before you leave for work to avoid embarrassment: Since I’m a bachelor, I have total freedom to do what I want and when as well as how I want to do it in my house with no words from others to tell me otherwise.

Drives me nuts a little, this “Hey” thing, and initially I rebelled against the lazy word, but Read More

(You will sing along, all comrades know famous melody from America!) Verse 1 On a dark tundra highway, cool wind in his hairs Warm smell of police state, rising up through the air.
