Is it Spring Yet?
I Want a 50 Year Old Woman
By Lonnie Carpenter

I don’t know about you, but the older I get, the less enthusiasm [...]

Well, of course, there’s the animated cartoon [...]
Santa Please Bring me…
One of my holiday traditions is watching The Santa Claus with Tim Allen. There are tons of funny moments in the movie, but there is one section that brings back memories every time. It’s the point where Laura and Neil are discussing the point at which they stopped believing in Santa Claus. [...]
