It was a hot day in Escazú, San José, Costa Rica today as my husband and I journeyed two doors down to our neighbors for a friendly Good Friday brunch. We didn't speak of Christ's suffering on the anniversary of his suffering, but we did talk
Today is Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday, because back in biblical times there was a lad no one liked named Maundy. He used to tell on other kids, and the other kids picked up on this habit. Any time someone ratted someone else out, they would be all,
I was doom-scrolling through the Google News app, and for some reason, The Daily Beast is forever attaching the wrong photo to their articles—unless, of course, Netflix has officially become a tourist hotspot for apex predators. This happens regularly enough that I show the mismatched headlines and images to
I wandered over to IMDB as one is wont to do when looking up Brendan Gleeson movies in a desperate attempt to find all of his films so you can be that Brendan Gleeson completist person, and I noticed at the top something something for Harry Potter. I assume it&
