Assorted Thoughts In The Midnight Hour

I live these days three stories in the trees above an oaken thatch to avoid the cauldron of violence that The Sunshine Empire has become.  I was distracted almost to the point of watching the Home Run Derby on ESPN, but I remembered how much I loath Chris Berman and forgot about Dan Uggla.  But [...]
