I don’t believe in “body language.” Sure, there are probably some really basic components of body language that can be read consistently for anyone, but I’m a very direct person so I hate the thought of someone trying to read between the lines of what I’m saying by interpreting my body language.

It’s summertime which means it’s yard sale season, which means I’ll probably collect an inordinate amount of nonsensical crap that I don’t need because I can’t resist a chance to nose around in someone else’s discarded belongings.

I got day drunk on the lawn and was extremely puzzled by the opening act, which was Sammy Hagar—who, if you don’t know, is widely … Continue reading
