why distinguish?

because there are levels of nearly everything. levels of pain. levels of crime. levels of love. levels of hate. it's all there. if you don't discern the difference--then every crime should have the same punishment.

that said--i think i do, in fact, owe the state of ny money. gahhhhhhh. that's soooooo vexing.

i kept meaning to do a brief synopsis of so many things--and just never got around to it--and now...can readily admit i never will! but below is a picture of me and a coworker from our team meeting in burlington vermont the 2nd week of december...i was sick as a dog--which was unfortunate because i look like hell in every photo. i'm not photogenic anyways though--so ehhh. oh well!
