Grr-- OK, that's pretty funny.

Wisconsin. Enough said.

Clowns are creepy, but maybe that's just me. But I have to admit that I'm sentimental about paint-by-numbers art. They hang like fine art at our (old, tiny)cottage, where no tv or el...

Besides that it's the right thing to do, it pays to be nice to your super or maintenance crew, mail/newspaper carrier. After Chicago blizzards, I've run out to the guy in the snowplo...
