When they come, they may be small, they may be large; they may come one at a time or maybe in bunches. You don’t always see them coming, but they’re coming.
Of course I’m talking about mosquito bites. No — I’m talking about Dilemmas – those tricky speed bumps life throws at us. You know, Which is better: fire or ice? Window or aisle? Or the one that vexes me most: fries or side salad?
How about these songs for a deluge of dilemmas?
