Five hours and two quick flights later, it is possible to be parking your rental car on King Street. My curls look best when my hair is dirty and salt water and sand are my chosen hair products.

Slipknot and Scaramucci
A few years back I attended a music event called Mayhem at SPAC. The things we do for people we love!

In the past week there have been two instances … Continue reading Humor is kind of funny
