• I’ll take “Spoilers” for $800, Ken.

    Not long ago, I mentioned that we’re currently binging Six Feet Under. We’re 43 episodes in with 20 left to go. Totally enjoying it, by the way. This is a very different version of Michael C. Hall than I am used to, but he still chats up his dead father, so there are some parallels

    After our beloved Sydney went to The Great Scratching Post in the Sky, we decided when we were ready for a cat again, we’d double down and get two. We’d tried adding a kitten to the mix once, but as much as Sydney loved humans and dogs, cats were another story. At best, they tolerated

    Residents of the Great Lakes states are no strangers to cold, but I did a double-take when I checked the temperature this morning. That’s chilly, even for us. And my weather station doesn’t really pick up wind, so even though the “Feels Like” temp showed the same, the actual wind chill according to the National
