Happy Sunday, friends! Here I am, getting an early start on executing the totality of today's plans. We woke up to snow here, so obviously I simply cannot be arsed to do anything that doesn't involve staying warm and cozy. I hope you all are staying snug and warm on this declared day of rest, too!

Recently there was online trend of naming your "hear me out" crush: a fictional character who for some ungodly reason you find irresistible. And they needn't be 3D, you can also have a crush on a cartoon! Some of my "hear me outs" include Uncle Junior from The Sopranos , along with Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show . I can't explain it but they're both like cat nip to me. This is SAFE SPACE, Peckers! So please don't be shy and share your most unhinged fictional crushes in the comments.

The Christmas tree - most of us throw some version of it up around this time. Decorated with lights, tinsil, and whatever other merry little thing that catches our eye, some might say how we adorn it mirrors how we adorn our own lives - and as how we live evolves, so is reflected in the way we decorate our tree. So in honor of the past and old traditions (the good kind), let's take a little jaunt down memory lane and have a look at a few vintage trees of yesteryear! Feel free to post your own, too!

      ► We all have woken up hungover in places that either: 1) we'd rather forget; or 2) can't remember how we got there. The character in this story managed to do both in grand style. A racoon broke into a liquor store to get an early start on the office holiday party season. It all happened at an Ashland, Virginia liquor store. Shocking that it wasn't Florida. The store was closed but the ringtail bandit found a way in. Once inside, it headed straight for the finest tonics: scotch and whiskey. No beer, Boone's Farm, or cheap swill for this critter.  After breaking a few bottles, it indulged in the sweet nectar while re-creating Tammy Cruise's bartending skills in "Cocktail". It then went on a rampage, breaking more stuff and drinking more hooch until it finally passed out on the bathroom floor like White House DUI hire, Pete Hegseth after a state dinner. Good thing the racoon was alone cause had it brought friends along I'm betting they would have d...

'Tis the season and if there's anything I love more than museums (especially historic house museums) it's Yuletide and all the decorations associated with it. So here's some scattered across the U.S. of A. (all pictures taken from the accredited websites).  In Detroit, Michigan : The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House. In Fresno,  The Kearney Mansion :  The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC , with its spectacular Hanukkah Menorah: Also in NYC, The Merchant House Museum (the most perfectly preserved Greek-Revival townhouse in the country), decorated for the season. You can even attend readings of "A Christmas Carol." A Christmas Carol 2025 - Christmas in New York 2025 ! A nd just because the backstory of this amazing old house is so fascinating, a little history about it. In Connecticut: The Bush-Holley House. In North Carolina: The Biltmore Estate. In Duluth, Minnesota (the home State of Sir Nubs): Glensheen House. There's a few historic homes near me that get...
