Stuck It Bucket

February 28, 2018 · 1 Comment

For the twelve years I had a real job I kept a running list of things I would do if I didn't have a real job. I don't know why purple hair and a nose ring seemed so alluring; I can only guess it was the appeal of the forbidden. Upon leaving corporate America in 2010 I wasted no time in knocking stuff out left and right. The first was easy - learn how to do a back spin and ...

A Masterpiece Out of Chicken Thighs

January 25, 2018 · 4 Comments

The Heat – A Guide To Summer

May 27, 2014 · 10 Comments

And just like that, stifling humidity has pushed the winter wonderland off center stage and we wonder what all the fuss was about as we swat at a snapping turtle sized mosquito that landed on our face. Summer is not for the faint of heart, especially if you have little ones.  It takes the mind of a lioness and the determination of an earthworm trapped on a hot sidewalk to ...
