RIP ‘The World’s Oldest Teenager’

Easter Feaster
Whether it’s Easter, Passover or none of the above, I hope you have a lovely long weekend. It’s always a Good Friday when one can sleep in past 3:30 am! One of my personal goals is to get to know this guy. …
Laughing With Gaffigan
If you’ve visited here before, you may already be aware that I’m a stand-up comedy nut. Nut! I have a long list of favourites that includes Jim Gaffigan who is coming to London in July and we have front-row seats for his Centennial Hall show. …
