Friday Fun Link – The World Needs More Childlike Pointless Whimsy

I had a manager once who observed, almost confused, “So you like whimsical things?” Yes.  Yes, I do.  I am *so* jealous of this girl! Somewhere a therapist is trying to get people to "live in the moment" while this girl is already three levels deep into a made up game that only exists in […]
