Best of Half-Fast

I get a great deal of pleasure out of writing this blog and every once in a while I put together a post that is worthy of a Pulitzer, at least in my mind. Like they say, “a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters for a million years will eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare.” This blind nut finds a squirrel every now and then... no... wait... it’s got to find the nuts. What? Never mind. What I’m trying to tell you is that the list of posts linked below are some of my favorites, some of the posts that I enjoyed writing the most and probably some of the best posts that you’ll read at Half-Fast. If you have other posts that you think should be included in this list please e-mail me, if enough people like a post that’s not listed here I’ll consider adding it to the list.
