What’s up?

Hey everybody, B here. Thanks to Mr. Poynter I’ll be using this space to let ya know what’s going on while I’m sailing the crystal waters of the Caribbean. Enjoy the snow!

13 Months Today

Today is the 13 Month Anniversary of my MadMania blog! To be honest, I’m kind of surprised I have stuck with it this long, but I’m enjoying it now more than when I started. Thank you to everyone who tunes in to see what I’m rambling about.

Buying a stove wasn’t that hard, part 3

Part three in the chronicle of my stove-buying experience (parts 1 and 2). So I was telling all this to my buddy Kaleb. He suggested I go to Nebraska Furniture Mart. I had never been there, so I asked him if they had a decent selection. He must have thought that was rather humorous. Christmas …
