Escapism

While on my way to write a post about a father who forced his daughter to kill the family cat, I realized, "do we really need more of that? No. No, we don't.

And they're coming out of hibernation on Cape Cod.

Put your headphones on in your cubicles and escape. Don't worry; the news will still be here when you get back.
