The line from Ferris Bueller popped into […]
Read More The Ear Candle DebacleSometimes the inner monologue escapes like a rabid monkey out of a zoo cage. This is what I tell people who look at me quizzically when I’m expounding on a subject I’m excited about. As Spiderman said, this is my gift, this is my curse.
