For many, the holiday season is a time of pain and emotional suffering. Broken hearts, ruptured spleens, and damaged livers litter the roadsides of this nominally festive season, leaving untold numbers collecting the discarded refuse like convicts under a particularly cruel sentence of community service.

Let’s admit it. Blogging is weird and bloggers are weirdos.

The other day, I saw these two quotations while I was at work.

"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for."
William Shedd
