Continue reading →: Downtown Minneapolis, why so trashy?
Last month we all had to say goodbye to our beloved friend Mark, who decided to cross the ocean to meet French girls and work on his accent. But, before he left, the group of us resolved to do something we had never done before, and something ballsy indeed. We…

Well, folks, the gods must have been in good humor today, because I stumbled upon a literary gem that would surely entice even the most indifferent of readers. There it was, on the dusty Malanaphy family library shelf, circa 1963, The Seventeen Book of Etiquette and Entertaining. In the few…
