Eloise Botsford, Free
I don’t think I’ve listened to this song since my grandmother died and I’m not sure I ever will. All Eternals Deck came out in March of 2011. My grandmother died in July of 2011. I listened to the album probably 30 times before my grandmother got sick. It was all I could listen to…

For heat-related issues not worth getting into, I have seen the Seth MacFarlane movie Ted twice in two weeks. While Ted might not seem like the kid of movie a person would need to see twice, let alone twice in eight days, it fits right in on the list of movies I have seen more…
