The air was momentarily sucked out of my world today when I went to turn on my iPod this morning and nothing happened. The screen was black and no amount of wheel-turning, button-pushing, shaking or swearing caused it to produce even one song from my beloved music collection. I have to admit, a sense of [...]

Supply and demand…
I was reading about the disparity between single men and single women in Stanley, North Dakota in the Forum yesterday.
