  • A Further Commitment

    Since I’m making all sorts of commitments these days, I thought I’d add one more: I will (try to) stop spreading the vicious (albeit entirely true) rumor that one of my co-workers eats gluten-free babies (food allergies, you know – gluten rich babies can wreak havoc on the stomach – can’t be too careful) just…

  • A Writing Commitment

    In sketch class this past Tuesday night we were supposed to present our realistic writing schedule.
