“Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” -Red Redding, The Shawshank Redemption Another year, another series of articles from me summarizing each Redskins game. I can’t help it. I was born in DC. The first object to ever hang […]
On this site, I tend to leave the workings of my day-to-day life rather ambiguous. It’s not because I’m afraid any of you will take the time to learn my schedule then murder me and wear my skin like a jumpsuit–I’m not vain enough to nurture such a conceit (though […]
