Prompt: LOL post. Write a post about a moment that made you laugh. Or a video, picture, blog post, or something else that made you. I am a huge fan of laughter. I mean, who doesn’t like to have fun?

Hands
I’m going to bring you back in time a bit here. Step back with me to the year 1998. Remember Jewel, the singer? She had a song on her second album titled “Hands”. It’s on my ipod along with other select songs from the “Top 200 Hits from the 90s” and every time I hear…

Cheesy Pasta Deliciousness
I was trying to decide on what to make for dinner tonight, thinking through what I had just purchased at the store. Without an exact recipe in mind, I asked Tom if he wanted some “cheesy pasta deliciousness” – and got a pretty favorable response. Next step: defining what that meant. I have a rough…
