For your reading pleasure — and really, everything I do is, ultimately, for your reading pleasure — I’ve compiled a list of some of my best posts. I went back through my archives, which stretch back to January of 2002, and selected only the most ridiculously sublime of my musings.
Enjoy them again for the fist time.
