Infrequent Updates

I must admit that blogging is a come and go proposition for me. Some weeks/months, I have tons of stuff to write about, and others, well, I just don’t have much to say. And I guess that’s how things are right now. So, considering that I don’t have anything deep to write about, I’m going [...]

When Is It Gossip?

Are all conversations about other people gossip?
Are all of those conversations bad?
