DOWN HOME:
Berry good time was had by all

Sometimes, my wife outdoes herself.

Now, before you filet, marinade, skewer and grill me for being a male chauvinist, just ask her about cleaning up the kitchen. I'm a world-class cleaner-upper. A guy's got to pay for his supper somehow.)

Oh, some things remained the same, of course.
