(I did not forget. I just pressed play on the next episode of Trailer Park Boys. I am not sorry.) Five years. 365 days, but five times of that. An avalanche of minutes, hours, weeks, memories, and times that I shampooed my hair twice during a single shower because the act has become so automatic that…
Well, folks, it’s the end of an era. As I’m sure you gathered from his epic send-off yesterday, Second Breakfast is hittin’ that long, dusty trail and heading on to greener pastures.

Three years. Wow. What a ride. We’ve taken life a quarter mile at a time, and now WE’RE ALL GODDAMN ROCKSTARS. Thanks for reading, you’re the best (hi, Mom, Happy Mother’s Day, you really are the best!). Last year saw a lot of changes. The site got a makeover—the montage was to die for, I…
