Scorpion Headquarters from “Scorpion”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I tend to get hooked on a new series every summer.

The “Forever Marilyn” Statue in Palm Springs
‘ Back in December the Grim Cheaper’s boss, while on vacation in Chicago, spotted a huge statue of my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe towering above the Michigan Avenue skyline and texted me a picture of it. Well, as you can imagine, I just about lost my mind upon seeing the looming bronze effigy and told…
