  • Trading batteries… until you kick the bucket

    Here I go, off on a tirade to offend some people again. I’m sure you’re used to that by now. I’m going to be particularly offensive to those people who tell you the only way to succeed is by working all the time, clawing and climbing your way up the ladder. It works well for […]
