| Introduction | Journalist for at least a decade, copywriter before that and right after, unemployed much earlier, and semi-employed since five years back. A father of three for 19 years, a husband of one for less, print column-less since July 30, 2006, with several blogs since I don't remember when. This one is similar to stuff I did for a local English daily. It was fun while it lasted, and while I got paid. |

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?
No. I picked up the pieces, kept them in a freezer, then when my worst enemy's wedding came up, I threw the petals at him after the ceremonies outside the Church of Satan.
