Wilfully exploring my own social inadequacies

I’m an introvert and I make no appologies for that.  I find dealing with other people tiring and my true solace comes in time alone or with a small number of close friends or family.  I enjoy quiet and relaxed environments with music, not large groups or parties.  This has it’s positives and negatives.  It [...]

Benyamen’s BoSox fans rejoice!

Well, it’s baseball season now so my alterego fantasy sports manager Benyamen Kramar has branched out into fantasy baseball too.  Benyamen’s BoSox were the champions of “Canadas Worst Fantasy League” last year and are hoping to defend their title.  However, in search of new competition, Benyamen’s BoSox have also created franchises in two other leagues [...]
