You might be surprised. Do you remember the feeling of absurd joy over securing a piece of Bazooka bubble gum when you were a kid? I think one piece cost a few pennies back in the day. Yes, the same day I walked barefoot to school, in the snow, uphill. It’s a Boomer thing. This […]
Plastered On The Refrigerator Door… I’ve been thinking about refrigerators lately, maybe because it’s hot outside, and they’re sort of “cool.” As a writer, I believe you can tell a lot about a person by what they post on the outside of their refrigerator.
