That said, the customer service is excellent, and the t-shirts are a lot of fun.

Disappointed that these t-shirts I ordered from Peace Love Canada were made in Haiti, not in Canada.

I love this so much. As I wrote when I first saw it in the bad place, I love that we got to explain to our kids why I have a smallpox scar but my younger man husband doesn't.

And waking you up this morning on The Early Edition with something a little bit different. A mash-up of an acapella version of a song and the original.
The vocal-only version is making the rounds online and turned up in the trailer for "The Smashing Machine."
Know who it is yet?

The last time I went down south they were converting courses to links to severely reduce water consumption and maintenance needed. Maybe time to do that up north too.
