Happy Cinco de MayoSpent all day yesterday getting punched in the solar plexus by Simon. His tolerance for sarcastic banter is minimal. He’s a quick kid. Smart as hell and although he doesn’t actually understand sarcasm, he knows enough to know he’s being fucked with. I guess it’s pretty natural to expect to get punched …

I don’t know what you all use for your internal economic compass – those things that you see and hear on the day-to-day that point your gut to a positive North or negative South. Perhaps you watch …
