Family Dinner
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’d like to write about family dinners. Thanksgiving weekend is an awesome time of year, unless you work retail or hate your family.

Dear Dickheads – November 2011
Dear Dickheads,
I am at the ripe age of 19. I can stroll into any smoke shop around this town and purchase enough stogies to take out a lung.

I’ve tried to make my own Christmas gifts before, and I’d like to apologize to anyone who has ever received a lopsided crocheted cap or a batch of slightly burned cookies. After strolling through the amazing Craft Lake City booths, I was ashamed! If you’re like me, and can’t cut in a straight line, worry no more.
