My cat...
My cat is very presumptuous.
Since nearly every cat presumes their own eminence, I suppose it’s not that big of a revelation.
I just like long, “smart” sounding words, I suppose.
Deliciousness Gone Wrong
So, I had a McRib sandwich today.
I’ve had them before.
However, I’m actually paying attention to what goes into my body, for once in my life.
I have to say, making the McRib one of those “special” items that comes and goes randomly is probably the best thing they could do for it.
The McRib reminds me of the beef frankfurters MRE meal.
The main meal packet of the...

When I'm Sixty Four
A new blog.
Yay.
Anyways.
Hello, everyone. I am Adam. Pleased to meet you.
I suppose you want to know why you should care about me.
I’m a philosopher, software developer, network engineer, veteran of the US Army, and husband. I have yet to change a diaper, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, set a bone, comfort the dying, or die gallantly.
I used to write a blog. It...
