I’m a little late with this year’s Valentine’s Day blog — I didn’t forget, I was just savoring the moment and besides, the florist was closed when I went by at midnight — but you can’t tell me that romance and true love are going out of style. What? You’re not telling me [...]

I’m not a hunter (although I have gone hunting once in my life and I enjoyed it) but this blog post, if accurate, suggests that a well-respected hunter and writer was punished for not towing some kind of imaginary line. What did he say? He suggested that — just maybe — it wasn’t [...]

I wasn’t going to blog on this terrible turn of events but TT and I started riffing on it this morning over coffee. As you may have heard (and, honestly, where could you have been to prevent the hearing?), Britney Spears, after spending one day in rehab decided to shave her head. According to [...]

Most people want to be buried in the ground inside a casket after they die. I like this guy’s style. If you really love something, try to die whilst doing it.
NEW YORK (Reuters) — Police called to a Long Island man’s house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead [...]
