Random Thoughts /begin random thoughts You never really realize how dull, dark and dingy your work area is until someone changes a light bulb. Have you noticed that? If you work in a typical office building, you probably have fluorescent lighting above you. Those lights dim over time, slowly – so slow that you...
One of my favorite characters in the Batman universe is Dick Grayson. Dick Grayson was the youngest member of a circus highwire act known as 'The Flying Graysons'.
