I know its January 3 and all but still wanted to wish my readers a happy New Year. Thanks to a lovely storm, I am digging out up here in Maine and gearing up for a hectic few weeks of work. So while I rarely take a true blogging break, should my posts become sporadic, have no fear…it means I …
Well this is most likely my last post of the year as well as for this decade. Let me just say that back in 1999 when everyone was getting all geeked up about Y2K, if someone had told me the things that were going to happen to me in this last decade, I would have laughed my ass off. Seriously, …

Readers, the past 24 hours have tested me as the kids used to say big time…as I told someone right now I feel like I am dancing with the devil and that bitch is winning the contest. So what has BGIM so up in arms? Well if you read me on the regular, you know I strive to live within …
