Miss Caterpillar brought to Asa’s attention that despite being in a long term relationship he’s never written a love song for her. An oversight he quickly corrected with his parody of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” I’m happy to report that thanks to “Sweet Squeaky O’ Mine,” tabloid rumors of their breakup are […]
Earlier this week I shared my results on the DiSC Personality Test. According to their assessment, I fell under their “Results-Oriented Pattern,” thanks to my dogged determination to solve problems.

For those who may not be familiar with the story, ten years ago antiquities and art dealer, Forrest Fenn, went into the Rocky Mountains and hid a treasure chest rumored to be worth $1 million, […]
As we continue our celebration of Maine’s 200th anniversary, today we are sharing the rags to riches history of lobsters! Lobsters are now considered a delicacy, but it wasn’t always that way. This lobster tale is all about supply, demand, and changing perceptions. Early explorers to New England marveled that lobsters were so plentiful that […]
Does anyone know if there’s an expiration date on sanitizing wipes? While Mom and Dad continue organizing and now reorganizing everything in the house they stumbled upon this container tucked away in a safe place in the office cabinet. Yep, the same cabinet you see us sleeping in front of while Dad works. We had […]
