A lot of people have been saying that 2011 was a sucky year. In the women’s bathroom at the co-op the other day, on the chalkboard provided for grafitti, it said, “good riddance to 2011″ but underneath someone else had written, “never wish for time to go away – it’s all you’ve got”, and below [...]
