A fearless Men prediction today. I’d bet your house on it. Also, a scary quote from Nick Krall. Rockers whose music hasn’t aged well and some long overdue praise for my two Fun-Espondents. Michelle is simply fantastic at keeping our weekends informed. Week after week, she finds stuff for us to do, big and small. Her tips are varied and eclectic.
