Summer is coming. It doesn’t really have the same dramatic effect, does it? Oh, well. Although, technically speaking, summer is already here.

Take Your Caffeine Addiction to the Next Level with K-Pod Coffee

Bear with me, coffee aficionados, as I find myself in uncharted territory with this one, swimming through dark and somewhat milky waters.

I saw the Adam Sandler movie ‘Click’ once. I can’t really remember why, and in hindsight it was not a justifiable move. Even so, I’d like to have a magical remote control, especially since I’d use it for much more interesting things than getting into weakly amusing escapades and causing arguments with Kate Beckinsale. Handily,…
