I hope that my adventures will be something many can relate to, I hope they are funny and bring readers a good chuckle. That is my goal.

Possibly this is due to grade school trauma of using “me” or “I” incorrectly and being harshly reprimanded for that error. Now the word “myself” has comeContinue reading “Electricity and I. Me?
