Seriously. Five. I woke up early (translation: wife woke me up early), spent time in ye ole coal mine, shouted like a madman at the children, openly made fun of coworkers who secretly patronized me behind my back (and plotted death plots and other forms of madness), travel to the comic book store and the cheese steak place, had five blog ideas (including one or two random story ideas), but waited until I got home to write them down.

The wife is out, and I know we have enough time if we only start now. You say you’re cold? That’s ok. We can thaw through that chilly exterior. Just come over here.
