While I do love cooking actual meals for myself, over the years as an underpaid civil servant, I have taken a liking to frozen meals for lunch or dinner.

What’s wrong with this picture? If you answered that the copy is incorrect and that there are more than two items that have been “banned” in America in an effort to protect kids, you’d be correct.

Farewell to My Car

On April 1, 2013 By Jim Swift
I have never sold a car before. I’ve been involved in the purchase of a few given my college-era penchant for wrecking them. Selling a car has given me new respect for used-car salesmen, who take the time, risk and money to sell used cars. It’s time intensive and it is not for amateurs. In [...]

On March 25, 2013 By Jim Swift
One of the most annoying things riders of Washington D.C.’s metro system will tell you is having to deal with, well, other people. In short, they’re usually horrible and annoying to deal with.
