Animal fun – The Zedonk

You’re looking at a Zedonk… an adorable cross between a donkey and a zebra.

Life 101 – Mailing Veggies

One of my favorite traditions is my annual overnight delivery of my first batch of veggies to my octogenarian grandparents in South Carolina.

Talented kids – Kids as the Real Housewives

The brilliant minds at Babelgum bring us the pint-sized reenactment of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And let me say you don’t know Jersey, until you’ve heard a ginger-headed six-year-old utter Caroline’s legendary line: “If you’re going to mess with my family, you’re messin’ with me!” Stop what you’re doing right this minute and [...]

Life 101 – We all bark for…

Westminster recently asked me if he could go to England. I thought it might be to sniff out the Abbey, but then I heard about this: a doggone smart entrepreneur in England is serving up doggie ice cream in flavors to make you bark. Chicken flavored ice cream served in a wafer cone with a [...]
