  • The Other White Milk

    Despite the fact that March often brings the year’s biggest snows, I cling optimistically to an idyllic vision of spring. The sun coaxes me into a daydream involving windswept hills fresh with fragrant clover, buds bursting forth, and butterflies dancing their jagged jig while the goats and I frolic in a bracing breeze.

  • Cinnalove

    It’s my Megan’s day to bring breakfast treats for her 1st hour English class. Is there something wrong with me that I can’t settle for the donuts at SuperAmerica?

They are very loving people and make loyal partners. I am proud to say that I was born under…

  • Not So Neat

    I’ll take the highlands, you take the neat fee… This is ridiculous and embarassing. A “neat fee”? You pay for the ounces of liquor poured, not the amount of room in the glass. Scotch drinkers who enjoy their malt neat (of which I am one) expect a smaller portion, an unassuming golden slip of elixer…
