I had to hold my ears and scream “blah, blah, blah, blah” while my friend talked about the disappointing ending of a movie she just saw this weekend. I hadn’t seen the movie yet so I didn’t want to hear about it. I don’t like to walk in late to movies either, I rather just [...]

5 Surfing Tips to Ride the Recession Tidal Wave
I’ve been reading about the “R” word this morning and found another “R” word to accompany that. There has been a Rapid decline in this Recession in the last several months.
