Well, the offices here at PP headquarters are looking quite spiffy what with the new paint and all. I confronted a dust bunny behind our Accountant’s desk that sat there and said, “Hey, what’s up.” I’m just saying, a vacuum was definitely in order. In other news, hey, it’s New Year’s Eve! Fish is doing [...]

‘Tis a blustery day awfully close to Christmas, and the PP offices have thinned out with folks taking time to visit family and friends. I hope you get to do the say, Internet, because it’s important to take time and sit with some good folks and laugh your biggest belly laugh and hopefully eat something [...]

The Florence Crittenton Home is a local non-profit that provides a therapeutic residence and support for pregnant and parenting young women, ages 12 to 21, and it’s literally right down the street from Lowndes Grove. Unfortunately, like many area non-profits, [...]

You like that? That’s what writing nonsense and doodling on a conference call will do for you, kids. Magic! But truly, Happy Hour drink prices (subhead: during these trying economic times) are nothing to sneeze at. As a reminder, Fish now proudly offers Happy Hour, or as the French call it, Bonne Heure, Monday through Friday, [...]

What’s up at PP today, you ask? I bought a whirling dervish from Zinn Rug Gallery today. And then I informed several PP staffers just exactly WHAT a whirling dervish is. I’m a big Rumi fan so it just sort of follows that you also adore the dervishes. In other news, several of the PP staffers [...]

Hey there, sorry I missed you yesterday. I was laid out with some form of flu-ishness. But I’m back in action. So, if you missed the Buy Local Bash at Lowndes Grove on Sunday, I am so sorry. It was great big, chilled out, fantastic local food, huddle by fire, nip in the air, shake [...]
