Twenty-Three and Beyond

When you’re twenty-three, you think you can keep up this level of performance forever. – Survivor, Chuck Palahniuk It’s funny how a week or so ago, Ms. B and I were talking about missing being 23. I am not sure if there’s something magical about the number, but I’ve heard a couple of songs about [...]
