    Its not easy being.. derpy

    One must find the sun, hope it aligns with a double stacked LL Bean bed, achieve a zen-like pose, HOLD that pose, and reach inner peace. Or, just look like a possum playing dead on the side of the road.

    A famed ‘hot roast beef’. Some places do it exceptionally well – like the very unassuming Chelmsford Pizza. This sandwich is a good reason to go into the office occasionally. Pictured here, a classic “three way” or “super”. American cheese, bbq sauce and mayo on freshly shaved roast beef, piled high. You “should” get it…

    Kim finally got a Stanley cup this year. It’s a silly trend, and even sillier with the accessories. But, it can be fun – when you sneakily add ‘straw toppers’ like this.
