  Cinco De Drinko, is what the better half of my life referred to this Holiday as. Formerly known as the Golden Age. (Neither golden, nor an age, discuss).  The days where you could eat and drink whatever you please and wake up knowing that a Frank White was in your near future to clear […]

My freezer looks as though I’m a doomsday prepper. That or just another mid westerner preparing for the next twister to lift me off […]

GUYS ITS FINALLY BASEBALL SEASON! And I literally couldn’t care less. Well, I couldn’t have cared less until I moved to St. Louis. You basically have to root for the Cardinals in order to be socially accepted into any circle. Granted my circle might just be me and my son, however, I’m pretty sure he […]
