It didn’t take long. Within 5 minutes of arriving on Marvin Hershberger’s Middlefield farm I had lost my shoe in calf-deep mud (I hope it was mud) forcing me to step into the same mud with my pristine white sock in an attempt to fish out my Adidas Shell-toe. After an eventful search, I found [...]

I know what you’re saying. Gourmet pizza, in Chardon? Are you smoking doobies Mark? Alas, I am not. A few weeks ago the old lady and I were out with our son in beautiful Geauga county when we passed through Chardon Square and saw people waiting on the sidewalk for Noce. My first thought was [...]

Yesterday if you saw my post about “The Coffee Catcher” and were lusting after one, well go buy one you cheap bastard! Or you can win one. I’ve got two to give away and I’ll give one to a commenter on this post and another to anyone that tweets this: Yeah, he’s fat but he’s [...]

Even the name sucks: Cottage cheese. Whenever I think of cottages I can’t help but think of those shitty paintings by Thomas [...]

Cleveland is in Zone 5, considering that cole plants are “cool” weather loving plants, they are best to plant in the early spring or [...]

For the first time in my life, I have a garden. It’s a 7’ x 14’ area behind my house that gets tons of beautiful Cleveland sunlight and proves to me that I am the most impatient man on the planet. Holy shit! I’ve waited 2 months, MONTHS, for my tomato to start turning red. [...]
