Best of the Village People

I got a question for you. Why does “The Best of The Village People” have more than three songs on it? I mean, good grief, there are 14 tracks on this CD. Ok… two of them are remixes. But still, 12 songs?!?

Massive CD Swap

My uncle J.O. and I just swapped major chunks of our CD collections for a few months. About 225 CDs from him came to me and about the same amount went from me to him. I sent along all my favorite stuff (I’m gonna miss my power-pop!). I took one look at [...]

Need a General Contractor

Apparently, it’s really hard to find a general contractor that wants to work on our backyard. There are two things I have that seems to be scaring them off:
