Read More »Yeah, who knew that beer could get moldy. It was a “You know it’s time to clean up when.. ” moment for me today when I saw a glass on the end table next to my sofa with moldy beer in it.

Read More »I have been having some really weird and horrible dreams lately. A few different nights I had dreams about my family, that I was home again and all kinds of weirdness was going on.
