One of the most pervasive and idiotic things I read on a regular basis is that we’re all the same. Of course we don’t all look the same, or act the same. We have different family histories, different genetics; we live in different environments and experience the world in different …
Welcome to 2014, friends! Did you have a good end to the year? Mine was filled with friends, food, and family – three of my favorite things. Cheers! Two days into the new year… have you made any resolutions? Better yet, have you broken any? I don’t make them anymore, …
Well, it’s the end, folks. No, not the end of BFD, but the end of the year. I’m taking an extended holiday from BFD and will back with new posts in January. Before I go, I’d like to take a moment to thank each of you for reading my little …
