Koan I Get An "Amen?"

[There are settings other than "Craven Codependency" and "Psychotic F-ing Bastard" when dealing with Those Darned Exes. The middle ground is the province of Miss Manners, Business English, and terse, no nonsense communication.]

[Loving pre-1984 Van Halen on The Bone today. "Jamie's Crying"? "Running With The Devil"? "You Really Got Me"? All good cheese, and all reminding me of camping out in the vacant field next to our houses with Jeff K. Everything was better in 1981, and boys today are dressing like they know it, too. Give me Vans, a shag haircut, and a retainer any day. (All over 18, of course. Here's your model release form.)]
