Friend Me, Tag Me, Call Me in the Morning
January 6, 2012
(The following is the tenth in my new series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” Although nothing has changed, it’s the start of a slow weekend, blogging-wise.) London Daughter has asked that I write about […]
How Not to Make A Pumpkin Cheesecake
January 4, 2012
1. Consult recipe. Carefully make a list of ingredients. 2. Shop for the ingredients. Return home. 3. Find the bowl of crushed chocolate wafers in the fridge that you used for a previous recipe.

Boomers have long felt that they were only as old as they believed themselves to be. For this reason, they consider […]
