Fancy Coffee Friday: “Peenting”, Peepers, & Petrichor

Fancy Coffee Friday: Limber Up
I have an excuse for not watching the inauguration of the 45th President of the USA: I was getting my hair done. Also, Facebook and Twitter have been utterly depressing as of late with the avalanche of bad tidings. I … Continue reading
Fancy Coffee Friday: Finding Manliness
Two Christmases ago I gave my eldest nephew a set of books from the people over at The Art of Manliness. When they arrived, I had flipped through them and thought they looked pretty interesting, so after my nephew opened … Continue reading
