For the past few days I’ve been frantically flipping through Lifetime’s t.v schedule. I’ve been searching for  The Golden Girls   and I couldn’t find the show’s listing anywhere!  I thought I had screwed up the schedule or that I was just going crazy. But I final...

When was the last time you sent or received a hand-written letter?  And cards don’t count.   A LETTER , written by hand on paper preferably go on think about it? Hmmm..I bet you can’t remember the last time you got one? I can’t remember when I last got one either so don’t ...

Hear me out. Rod Blagojevich is probably a criminal. He’s narcissistic and a  bit crazy BUT I’m starting to think that the media is  really, to use a British expression, ‘ taking the mickey’ out of him. And I know that this is probably what he wants but I can’t help...

Douglas Schulz  plans to announce his candidacy on January 20th because we have nothing better to do that day..lol. So until the breaking news announcement comes our way YouTube will have to do. Working for and against Wall Street [sic] and writing a few papers seems to have equipped Schulz to be...

We plan to send out Christmas cards in the new year (Christmas-tide lasts until Epiphany, so it works!) and have been working hard to find the 'just right' picture for them this year. It has been rather elusive. We posted one attempt with a Christmas Day "card" below (and it is pretty good...but not...

Our good friend Lee showed us this trick on one of our previous trips to visit him in England, so when Sara got me a bag of Maltesers it was time to get down (literally) and have some fun with our chocolate. Basically, these little chocolate candy balls are light enough to float on your breath. Give...

Last week was rough. R.O.U.G.H. I'm big on the "there are others who have it way worse" but sometimes you have to allow yourself the luxury of saying "yeah...this really sucks".  That was how I felt this week.  Here's brief blow-by-blow: "lost" my pu...

The LumiTable table runner is made from woven fiber optic strands and glows while you dine in the dark. Available in a variety of hideous colors, each 63"x13" runner will set you back a costly $200, but is sure to get the neighbors talking. Talking about what a tacky fucking idiot you are. Seriously...
