Happy Black Friday Birthday, Polt!

Last year, C&R told you the truth about the first Thanksgiving, and how it lead to the birth of Polt.  In case you’ve forgotten, here it is: About 7000 years ago, this dude named Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.  The Queen of Spain had given him three boats:  The Nina, the Pinta and the [...]

Oh the things I’ve done … while shivering.

You never realize how reliant on something you are, until it’s gone. Due to the recent storm (I hate weather), I was without electricity from Saturday at 6pm until Tuesday around noon.

This is not the best way to blog, or do anything really. After hours of consuming food, alcohol and tryptophan, my body only wants [...]

Bra Shopping For My Birthday

Last week I spent some time with my two favorite ladyfriends as part of a belated birthday celebration.  After a fair amount of joking, gossiping and catching-up, we took a drive to Red Bank, NJ.  It’s a cute town where we checked out some of the little specialty shops and then went for pizza at [...]
