In case you don’t know this about me, I am the world’s worst at holding a grudge — usually ones in the non-serious category. Typically if you’ve said something that annoys me or I CAN prove wrong, I’m gonna joke with you about it for weeks, months, years on end.

Many years ago when I first worked for The Outlook, one of our editors once told me it doesn’t take hours and hours and hours to write five stories. The quote, “Well it’s not like it takes hours and hours and hours,” is still a staple in my conversations.
