Things that Make Sense!
The name of the blog comes from the movie Night Shift. The Bill Blazejowski character claims to be an idea man, like me. He comes up with the idea to feed mayo to tuna so that they are easier to eat. Makes sense right?
Beginning
This blog created as a outlet for thoughts on different matters. Latey I have been very anxious to get something underway in my life. Anything really. Just the process of creating so far has given me a bit of relief.
