Posted on January 29, 2014 by Julie-Ann Baumer

Last night was the state of the wha wha wha wha on the Tee Vee.  It was probably on the radio, too, on En Pee Are and on some static-filled right-leaning AM stations.  It was quiet here last night, by … Continue reading →

Green(s) Day

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Julie-Ann Baumer

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my sad duty to inform you that the Boston Celtics lost in game 2 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Semifinals series last night.  This eliminates several interesting word plays using the words “green” and “greens.”  … Continue reading →

Dear Aunt Tomato

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Julie-Ann Baumer

Friday Pillow Talk – Sunshine Flashback

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Julie-Ann Baumer
