Mad Men Season 4 Finale…Tomorrowland.
I think, though, a more appropriate title should be...I SPILL YOUR MILKSHAKE. Because, really, that is what this episode was really about, wasn't it? The milkshake scene. The one where the kids and Don all prepare themselves for Megan to have a Betty-like angry reaction. And, well, she just, didn't. … [Read more...]
Can You Help a Mutha Out?????

Kids Say…
After spending hours on our cell phone at the hospital telling family and friends about the birth of our youngest daughter, I finally got a hold of my brother to share the news with him."Oh, I already know," he explained.
