Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said

Later this week begins the rewatch for two iconic shows that got most people through the pandemic and the events of 2020.

March is officially a memory as the calendar has now turned to April. It was a pretty eventful month with everything that it had to offer.

The Fish Sammie and Cute Coffee Tour of March ’24!

I didContinue reading “The Fish Sammie and Cute Coffee Tour of March ’24!”

Contests, Coffee, and Madness: A Look Ahead to March

Before I get into this look ahead to the next month, I am pleased to learn that the former Sears will have a new occupant in the future.
