Lindy asked me that this weekend. We were sitting at lunch, eating gyros, with the Hickmans and the Watsons. I looked around the restaurant, trying to figure out what the heck she was talking about. Do you know? Would it help you if I said, “Pa rum pum pum pum”? …
Clearly my daughters are an amalgam of their mother (a foodie) and father (a hockey fan). Tonight’s indication came on the car ride home from our first basketball practice of the year. Aspen: Did the Predators win their last game?Tim: Yes, I think it was 1 – 0.Aspen: Who was …
