Trials and Tribulations

Friday, May 11th, 2012

Dirk’s trial starts on Monday. I guess I should say Dirk’s killer’s trial starts on Monday, but we all know it as Dirk’s trial – and I think it’s difficult for many of us to say the man’s name. This week has definitely been a taxing one… sure, I’ve had my moments of laughter and jokes [...]
