Rich Masts
[Source] It was about 4:30 this morning when I awoke from a semi-decent slumber. I heard the pitter-patter of rain slapping against the window and I knew that would probably be the last time I hear...

2000 Pennies
Christmas is but a stone’s throw away and the days seem to be winding down far too fast. Times are a bit rough and you don’t have possession of much money at all, yet you know that even though Christ …...

Umm, Thanks?
These Christmas Countdown posts can seem a bit difficult at times and I often find myself trying to make some of the most inane connections to relate the number with the event. At the same time it’s...

It’s All The Rage
Seventeen magazine, something I’ve never read, probably never will read, but know enough about it to say that it’s the teen epitome of hype (or at least one form of it). Christmas time also tends to be...

Patty Cake, Patty Cake
If you’re like me, the term “baker’s dozen” may seem a bit confusing. I never quite understood what it meant other than 13 rather than 12. After some serious morning research (a.k.a. Wikipedia) it...
