The Walking Dead Recap: Suffer The Executioner

In the midst of a zombie apocalypse what is the worst thing you’ll face? The zombies themselves? Finding and maintaining food and shelter? Keeping your sanity?

Meet Your Crassholes: Getting to Know Spiggy

After being interviewed by the lovely A Piece of the Continent, it was my turn to select the next Crasshole. I chose someone who I thought was probably polar opposite of me, yet just as sweet and lovable as I am.

Limbaugh “Apology” Doesn’t Appease Advertisers

Ah, late February/early March. When this time of the year hits, my husband and I get nostalgic for the rocky beaches off the coast of Maine. Not that we’ve ever lived on the coast (which is a dream of ours) but because we used to make a trip to Maine every winter to enjoy the empty beach during the day – and the open bars at night.
