Mola Ram Knew Something About Barbeque

June 30, 2008 – 10:29 am

Try as I might to look on the bright side of things, the truth is there’s a part of me that can’t wait for Summer to be over. I’ve been trying to celebrate the season, but all the outdoor activities, sunlight, extra-long days and scantily-clad young women in the world can’t make up for […]

Yesterday’s post was my attempt to start the first official week of Summer 2008 here in the Northern Hemisphere of planet Earth off with a bang.
