Downtown Albany has holiday music playing. Normally I have headphones in, but I noticed it when I had to run out today. As I was leaving the office, I thought about putting the buds in as to avoid the #LittleDrummerBoy. Yeah, out the door and hit with it. https://t.co/T2gof8ZhQo

There was something about this piece that bothered me. Maybe it was the expectation that the author set for themselves. Maybe it is the declarative in the headline. I'm a Great Cook. Now That I'm Divorced, I'm Never Making Dinner for a Man Again https://t.co/Xm7CvzJWyR
