After thirteen months of blogging for Where We Relax, I’m sorry to say that this is my last post. However, as regular readers of this blog will know, things have been going topsy-turvy in my life and I need to scale back on my work in order to get balanced again.

Little Guys Sometimes Win

Some days, it feels as if it’s not that much use trying to do anything. Your life seems completely in the hands of evil (or at least neutral) forces. This despair can definitely make you drown in stress. Maybe this little true story will help you come up for air.

In the Philadelphia area where I live, one of the great impersonal forces that seem to somehow control our lives is Comcast, the mighty cable company that has its headquarters in Philly’s largest building.
