There was something about Lemmy. I’m not sure if it was the rock attitude, or the mutton chops. The ample time he spent at gaming machines with a glass of Jack Daniels. Maybe it was the way he sang up into the microphone, as it loomed above him. That microphone had no idea what was coming, and on December 28th, […]

One of my favorite things in the world is opening a new jar of peanut butter. There is something so completely satisfying about the smell that is released when you pull the seal back.
