One of the surprises of this recent holiday break was learning one of my sister’s food crushes. Girl loves herself some White Castle. Needless to say, I was both stunned and proud. As someone who admittedly ate quite a fair share of those greasy, oniony, grilled burgery delights. Let’s be clear, the things are damn […]
Well, it’s Christmas time, so I have to bring up some holiday classics that I love for the Friday Funnies. This time around, we’re going with Scrooged. This is not the funniest clip from this movie, but since my mother has so lovingly declared this year to be the Campbell Family Christmas of Coal. Apparently […]
A bonus Friday Funnies for you. Because it’s Christmas, and if Clark W. Griswold is who I can aspire to be as a grown-up, life will at least be full of adventure, and that ain’t so bad. […]
So it was our last day in Louisville before the big drive back to DC, and after a surprisingly delicious brunch, my mom thought of a quick activity, which was to go to the Center for the Arts downtown and check out this new display. It’s a 30-minute video celebrating Kentucky’s history. At first I […]
Driving from DC to Kentucky and back is not a horrible journey. The trek takes you through lots of different and beautiful scenery. Western Maryland is nice, and once you get into Kentucky you got all those horse farms, and there is nothing prettier than seeing rolling hills with lots of horses hanging out. Just […]
First off, hope everyone had a good Christmas Day. Whatever gift you were hoping for (be it money, a pony or 100% convincing that Obama is indeed our president) I hope you got it. Just have to give some much-deserved props to the Campbell kids. Instead of guessing at presents this year, the three of […]
Tonight marks the one-year anniversary of the crime. We return to the scene tonight. 265 days ago, I accompanied my wife for the first time to her family’s Christmas Eve dinner. Night before Christmas is the big tradition in her family, and everyone comes. There is some present opening, this odd photo of the grandchildren […]
The Crawford bunch are normally a reserved bunch. This is far from my family, where no matter if it’s Campbells or Duffys, chances are strong that you will find some alcohol, loud voices and some occasional picking on each other. You know, because we all love each other. But my lady’s family are the reliable […]
Now that we have made it to the farm for the first half of our holiday journey, now comes the fun parts. That is, me taking part in the family traditions of my goddess’ clan that I was able to avoid during the opening 10 years of courtship. I got a “Get Out of Family […]
We had to make a stop in Lexington for a night while on our way back to my wife’s farm for the holiday. You see, her great uncle Ben died last week, and we absolutely had to pay our respects. Uncle Ben was a famous doctor here in Kentucky, and his death means my dearest’s […]
