While we were visiting our friends in Columbus recently, one night they asked if we were fans of Flight of the Conchords. “Frodo, Don’t Wear the Ring” has always been at the top of my list, but I think that may have been knocked down a peg since Chris and…

Just Because: The Simpsons & Game of Thrones
Because absolutely nothing today is going how I need it to go and I fully expect to get home to a house full of dog accidents (A.M. storm = scared dogs who won’t go out), I thought I’d just post a quick something that makes me happy. And today, right…
