The NaBloPoMo prompt for today: How do you feel when you return home at the end of the day? I’m not sure I should have answered this one, as I doubt that my answer will be in sync with the intent of…

The EM Curse
Originally published at Enemy of Entropy. Please leave any comments there. I’m viewing this entry on my ginormous 22″ monitor. My hero acquired it via freecycle, toted it from the previous owner’s house to our car and into our house…
