I was tagged for a meme by Nerd Girl which calls for me to write seven random facts about myself. I am not sure what the demand for information about me is like out there in cyberspace, but I’d guess that it’s low. Here’s my seven anyway:
1. I shave only once a week. I hate shaving and I have very sensitive combination skin so I do it infrequently. If my face is shaved clean on a Wednesday then it must be a special occasion.

I am proposing that Victoria’s Secret create a man bag of brown paper with the letter “VS” on it for guys like me.
6. Some people think I’m mean and have
