Serj on Serj.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Serj Tankian.

Thanks to Dave for bringing this amazing piece of entertainment to my attention .

Locally Grown

Having recently had the opportunity to visit two of the local farmers’ markets, I thought I’d share a few thoughts.
Last week I stopped by the Sparks farmer’s market in Victorian square. I was less than impressed. While I understand that it is early in the growing season and many growers don’t have much available yet, […]

I’m still here, I promise.

Well, it’s been nearly a whole month since I managed to post. Where in the world did the time go?

I’ve also been hesitant to get into the […]
