Happy TV Season
The other day, Bridget finished reading the first book in the Little House series. I think we gave it to her for her birthday. We were in the car when she finished so I started asking her questions. I wanted […]
ITEOTWAWKI: Lost and Found
Because I have been a bad blogger lately, I will only have one post dedicated to Peter Buck’s 360 JetGlo Rickenbacker guitar. In the time since my last R.E.M. post, someone stole and then returned this iconic symbol of the […]
