If California breaks off the mainland, it won’t be because of global warming, It will be because of the five trillion tons of goose poop that fell from the sky right in the middle of L.A.

I went to school in Virginia Beach, which is only a few miles away from Norfolk Navy Base — the world’s largest Naval Station. My senior year of college, two of my girlfriends and I got an apartment close to the water, which was closer to the base than campus. When we got our place, [...]

Kajsa Blad bedding from Ikea

My dear friend Amy gave The Boss and I a gift card to Ikea for our wedding last year, and even though we had an Ikea close to us back on the east coast, we never visited the Swedish/now Dutch owned superstore together until we moved to L.A. Last month, while getting settled into our [...]

It’s good to be home
