So the wife just came back from a trip to the Motherland on business. It's Date Night so we debate between the Saint Arnold Pub Crawl, and checking out a movie at Alamo Drafthouse . We're both a little tired, so Alamo it is. At first we were set to see the new Christmas Carol CGI movie and I get in my head that that movie New Moon will probably be pretty good.

Is there a toilet on any college campus that you haven't ended up in'), always leads to one of my favorite things: breakfast for lunch. Luckily, Oas...

Poet Susan Ramsey and I have been corresponding for ages now, since the days when she was a bookseller and I actually had time to answer my email, and she’s been urging me to read her friend Bonnie Jo Campbell’s short stories almost that long. When I finally do manage to crack the spine on [...]

Dan Proft had me at, "Hey!" While I love Andy McKenna's hair commercial and believe him to be one of the finest people in shoes, I must go with Dan Proft. While Speaker Madigan takes a lot of grief from Proft, I see equally fine qualities of work ethic, integrity, common sense, common decency, and loyalty in each. Andy Andriekzcxsiekiqzkie seems a nice lad and his Mom and Dad did commercials...
