Nothin’ But a Lost Backstage Pass
Bret Michaels of Poison was in our neck of the woods this weekend. Well technically he was in New Hampshire not Maine. But he did perform near where I was born!

One Giant Leap Forward for Asa
As you know, Mom and Dad have that ridiculous “Four Paws on the Floor” rule, which means we’re not allowed on the furniture. Now being a good boy myself, I never break that rule. Asa, on the other paw, prior to his eye surgery was a rebel and would frequently jump up on the couch […]
