Fancy,
I am sorry that we have not been able to meet. I work at a very demanding school and often get work dumped on me at the last minute. But, I love my job, though. Tell me a little bit about yourself. What are some of your hobbies? In one of your text messages, you [...]

For those of you looking for more James Carafano talk, you’re looking in the wrong place today. Yes sir, I’m actually going to talk about my life in China, which continues to get weirder and weirder. I mean, this country is fucking strange, man. I’m going to begin with the date (or “meet”) I [...]
