  • Goodbye 2010: Decade in Review and Junk

    In our lifetime we’ll only get a few moments to wax poetic and review things from our narcissist pinnacle, and with MCF now being gone from the blogging world, I am left picking up the slacker’s slack. In this post, I want to flashback over the last ten years and declare, as only a person…

  • Prepackaged Town Halls?
