Hillary’s back

in the spotlight. I’m happy to hear the Hillary Rodham Clinton will be accepting the post of US Secretary of State. I mean, with the economy in a slump and unemployment high, all the lay-offs, she should really take this job.


She’s barking

Mollie lives in the garden apartment of Larissa’s house. The little girl is a 13-week old golden retriever who is so dang cute. She’s a reddish-foppy eared puppy who has a TON of energy. I just brought her upstairs for a little bit to play. The neighbors are still at work and they said that [...]

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Mickey Mouse turns 80 years old today. He looks amazing for his age, not a day over 10. It’s probably because he stopped smoking and drinking. . .


Poor Johnny Holm

No, not the porn star but the musician that you might not know unless you live in any of the states that surround South Dakota. I was watching the news in my grandma’s apartment in Moorhead, MN (near Fargo, ND) and was surprised to hear a familiar name. His band had an accident on the [...]
