The Other McCain

This Is Probably Not the Onset of an Incurable Terminal Illness, But …

. . . you never know. By the time you read this, I might be pushing up the daisies, shuffling off this mortal coil, pining for the fjords. My plan, however, is to be deep into the merciful bliss of a Nyquil-induced sleep. So let’s hope it is only a late-winter head cold that has put […]
