Alex McLeish Quits Scotland

Alex McLeish has resigned as Scotland manager and it looks like he will take over as Birmingham City boss. A week and a half removed from that Italy game and now we’re looking for a new manager… Great.


The Much Delayed, Yet Inevitable, Thanksgiving Post

Up until a few weeks ago we had no Thanksgiving plans, in fact our plans was to have a mini Thanksgiving dinner at home. Robyn had dreams of a tiny turkey for two, and little portions of stuffing, sweet potato casserole and what have you.

A Week and a Half with an iPhone

Not About the Benjamins, Baby!
