Feeling drained after a fortnight of Fair-related labors, I needed a break. So I went to CentroDSM for half-price pizza & beer Monday. Inspired by a recent Facebook post from George Formaro, I cobbled up a 'grinder' pizza with a double portion of Graziano's Italian sausage, extra red sauce…

As a huge Beach Boys fan, I love today's "Mutts" comic strip by Patrick McDonnell. I love the parody of the cover of the 1966 "Pet Sounds" album. But I do have to note that "Good Vibrations" didn't appear on "Pet Sounds." Instead, it appeared on the group's next album, "Smiley Smile."
