Not xylophobic, just xylo-avoidant
Have you ever been camping? I grew up as a child of the Pacific Northwest in a time before the internet. You bet your ass I’ve camped. My grandparents owned a winnebago, and we weekend RVed as far as the eye could see. Eating my weight in cheese at the Tillamook cheese factory? Check. Reading…

Team Monty Mushroom for life
What is your favorite restaurant? 100% White Spot. It has been a family favorite since long before I was born, and was where we went to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and good report cards (not that I ever had any other kind of report card…) Sadly, thanks in part to covid, the few White Spots in…
