Yesterday I hit the trifecta food, friends, and Friction Farm. Does that mean the day gets an F? Friction Farm, Christine Stay and Aiden Quinn, are erstwhile New […]

What Do I Love More Than Love

Last night I had an early celebration of my birthday as Kevin took me to see Dar Williams with Susan Werner opening. That should be all I need to write, the rest you can figure out for yourself. Just as 2 + 3 = 5; Dar + Susan = Great Time. Sure I just saw […]

The Facts Fan, Just the Facts
