It’s the day before (well, considering the time, actually of) Thanksgiving, and while I want to be more thankful for what I have, I can’t stop worrying about money. Simply put, we’re outspending what we earn. Even though I’m making more money than the last job, our former renter is no longer with us, and …
Well, I’ve returned from my vacation for the year. Friday, I left Dallas and flew to Columbus, Ohio for a gathering put on by people from Kingdom of Loathing.
