But. It needs to be said. Here and now. The supreme Halloween candy is, and will always be a Snickers […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriday! (<–didn’t see that coming, eh?) Okay, I’m surprised at the amount of people in my stories who don’t know what a Boo Bag is! Is this a regional thing? A midwest thing?

Faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuudeeeeeeeeeee! Little change in format today. But first, I need to tell you about a dream I had this week. It was so vivid and so real and yes, it’s sort of boring but I’m telling you anyway. It was my Ralph Lauren dream! Let me start by saying, I’m not like, governed by that […]

Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrey! der! duh! dey! Ya know what I’ve really been into lately? Let me preface this by saying you’ve all already been into this for years and years. I’m just (fashionably?) late to the party. This is what I’m loving: fun podcasts. Like guest-based podcasts. Just two-four people chatting and gabbing and dishing and spilling […]
