Posted on July 27, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

While walking through my local Target store, a tee-shirt jumped out at me. It said “NEVER DEFEATED.” The shirt was obviously suited for a three-year-old child. And I thought: “Of course you’ve never been defeated you little twit. You’re three … Continue reading →
