Goodbye, you arrogant bastard.
Monday night was the series finale of House. It also happened to be the night my book club was meeting, so I didn’t watch the episode until Tuesday.

Story: part two of probably at least a few.
It turns out this past weekend was hugely centered around stories and storytelling, so it’s no wonder that it’s been on my mind lately.
