Free Time
As I sit here in the lull, the achingly slow void between Christmas and New Year, I’ve realised that we have almost a full week of nothingness. Who’d have thought that there was a week be…

Christmas Day Without Christ
Christmas Day is a peculiar day of the year. A time for family, or as I like to call it a recipe for disaster, and food and drink. All in the name of some guy no one cares about anymore. As I sit in…
