Drew Brees @ Octavia Books

I’ll make this snappy, as the event begins at 1pm. Lately I’ve adopted a new mantra, “Make your weaknesses your strengths.” Apparently I have reached that convergence of age and despair where I need to recite affirmations to myself in … Continue reading →

Total Debauchery

Well, it’s here. The first Saints playoff game. I am relatively new to being a full-fledged football fan, and so far, it is bittersweet. The excitement is sustaining during these cold, winter months. But, I am reminded of Buddhist parable … Continue reading →
