I wrote a sweetly sentimental piece about being thankful but I'm not posting it. I shouldn't have to tell anyone that every day has something in it that we should be thankful for. Also, I don't like sappy. I like sarcastic. Tastefully sarcastic. Because I'm always socially and ethically conscious. Before we get to the…

They usually sit prettily on the coffee table, never opened unless it's while I am feigning royal indifference and superiority over the peasants that have come to call.
