Why
I make it through all the episodes of the Sopranos to realize that I have, in fact, watched the last episode before. It was accidental, skimming through TV channels at my parents house. I simply didn’t realize it was the VERY LAST episode. It is, though. I almost shit my pants during the SECOND TO LAST episode, for sure.

What was...

There is one universal truth: Wegmans is the best grocery store in the USA. Don’t you dare get on your Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods high horses. I’ve lived elsewhere, and I can safely say it after having been forced to shop at those (lovely, for sure) establihements. Unless you’ve had a turkey sub with banana peppers and sub-oil on an EVERYTHING ROLL FRESH BAKED...
