It has occured to me that the reason that books and newspapers will last forever is because they do not need a password to read them.

There is nothing that I love more than this season of the year. I am already a man who likes to shop, so Christmas gives me a real excuse to do what I already like to do. No gift cards from me my friends, no sirree, you get the full meal deal, personally [...]
