I know I really should take some time and post some interesting or profound thoughts here. The problem is, I have such high standards that I don’t even impress myself. Yeah…that’s it.

Well, Fergus is to me as Jody is to Karma.  Then again, maybe Karma isn’t right, but I’m not sure there is a catchy, well-known term for “a life lesson you’re meant to learn.” I’ll call her Epiphany for now.
