  • Happy VD!

    How fitting that the abbreviation for Valentines Day is the same for Venereal Disease, something you might get if you’re looking for love in all the wrong places.My valentine showed her love by carving hearts and JL + JL encased with a big heart onto a banana, with a note that said, “I’m bananas for…

  • Fifty Years

    It was fifty years ago today that The Beatles made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.  Music has never been the same since.  Great tribute on CBS this evening with Paul and Ringo, and tons of artists playing cover.  An excellent show.

  • Men’s Under Armour Base 4.0 Leggings

    I’ve been freezing all Winter, and I just couldn’t seem to find anything that would keep my legs warm.  When I was up North the last week in January, I stopped at Mill’s Fleet Farm in Baxter on the 24th to see what they had.  They had all kinds of long underwear, and I really…
