I had a serious conversation with someone over the weekend about what the one thing is that I would say is the hardest part of the day to deal with. I couldn’t answer right away, as I knew I’d need to truly lift up the rug and see what was underneath. After taking a couple…… Continue Reading
Halloween!
Well, it’s almost October and the countdown to trick or treating will commence. I miss the annual tradition of wearing an extremely flammable costume with a suffocating mask, made even more unbearable by the mile long slit my Mother made in it, so that I could “breathe easier” – making my Yoda look more like…… Continue Reading

He went so far as to enlist former President Thomas Jefferson’s help (you know: back when current and former Presidents would actually work TOGETHER). Part of this National Brewery would have been the appointment of a new…… Continue Reading
