Introduction Just getting through each day, always keeping an eye out for the ludicrous or the sublime. I live in a quirky, little, 220-year-old house with an odd Italian boy and a kooky little three-legged dog. We keep chickens with names, watch Lawrence Welk on Sundays, bicker a lot and play obsolete music together, occasionally in public.
