My hubs is a vintage guy. He loves all things retro. If I let him select furnishings for the house, you could reasonably assume Judy Jetson was his decorator. He likes ’69 mustangs, turntables for his albums, cassette players for his tapes, and he’d turn our kitchen into a ’50s diner if I left town for […]

Just took the “What 2012 Song Are You?” online quiz, and I’m not publishing the results because a.) I’ve never heard of the song, b.) I’ve never heard of the artist, and c.) the lyrics are stupid.
