    They're Up!

    I knew they'd be a couple weeks early this year because of the wacky weather we'd been having. Found one yesterday so I got out checking some other places today and sure enough, morels could be found, so, if you love these tasty edibles and have an idea where they're growing, well, the early...

    Edible Wild Mushrooms

    Cheering for the Bruins last night.

    Wanna bet? So my bro and I are watching game 5 last night and it was a scoreless toss-up as you know after 2. So to make it more interesting, because at this point it's a hair over watching soccer on the excitement meter, I suggest we put a little wager on it: whichever team scores the next...
