Lately my kitchen has been swarmed with one of the most annoying, yet for the most part benign, insects in existence. I can’t recall ever having this problem before. The occasional gnat, yes, but never in such numbers. If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say this is yet another attempt by my landlords to drive me away. First the ceilings ( Read more... )

My brother called me today, which in itself is not a terribly earth-shattering occurrence, but the subject of the call was shocking indeed.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my little cousin Lincoln Mercury Ford recently welcomed into the world his new baby sister...Crown Victoria.

It's been funky lately. We'll go from temperatures in the ( Read more... )

Aloha everyone out there in (insert your current state and/or city).  How goes it?
