See this piece of awesomeness right here? It was drawn by a local artist at my town’s annual Small World Festival, which celebrates the rich and varied diversity that flourishes in our community. A street downtown (think 50′s era small town Main Street) is blocked off for an afternoon of live entertainment by heritage groups, [...]

This is a meme that my good friend Kathy at Four of a Kind started up a couple of weeks ago. I’ve wanted to participate before now, but between getting into the swing of Aiming Low and (barely) keeping up here, I’ve been pretty busy. This was a good week for me to jump in. [...]

A couple of years ago, I discussed my mom’s and sisters’ addiction to tattoos and my equally strong fear of getting one. I’m still mostly chickenshit, but I think I’ve finally grown ballsy enough to get inked. After all, what the hell kind of mafia capo can I be without having a tattoo? Getting “tatted” together [...]
