Semi-Homemade indeed.

You’ve gotta love a cooking show with a title that describes both the food and the host’s breasts.

Back in the saddle. 3 hunts, 3 finds.

I had plenty of time for geocaching over the Memorial Day weekend and I made the most of it.  I hunted three caches and found them all with no trouble.  I’ll have more details and pictures later, but so far I haven’t even taken the pictures off the camera.
It seems that when I have a [...]

Now Playing: Garbage!

For the first time in many moons I have an entire weekend to myself. To my list of things to do I considered adding a fine feature film. I hopped over to the Marquee Cinemas website to see what mindless summer fluff I could get into. Amazingly enough they only have two [...]

I loves me a bargain.

I’m a Kohl’s addict. I don’t think I’ve bought a piece of clothing anywhere else in years. Usually when I’m there I’ll peruse the leftovers on the clearance racks just to see what’s there. Last weekend I scored big time; I found this little gem for about $4:

What’s holding YOU back?

“Hey, good lookin’! We’ll be back to pick you up later!”

As everyone knows by now, el presidente was caught driving around on his ranch sans seat belt. This would be no big deal if it weren’t for the fact that a) police around the country are pushing the “Click it or ticket” campaign [...]

Two hunts, zero finds.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but both I picked two caches of higher difficulty to hunt this weekend. I guess I was getting a bit overconfident because I had found every cache I hunted so far. Not so this time.
The first cache I picked was named after Robert C. [...]
