Danny Trejo’s Love of History Turned Him Into an Explorer Danny Trejo discusses his hit show, Mysteries Unearthed.

This was hands down one of the most enjoyable interviews I've done in over 25-years.

Sadie & her cousin Daisy were both born around this time of year, but Sadie was a stray we don't know her real birthday. Daisy kindly offered to share her 11/8 birthday with Sadie. This year, they turned 10 and had a party! Doggie Stanley was there, too! Reese gave the girls Frosty Paws.

If he did he hid it under the "They'r just photos anyway." And it wasn't like there was a celebration- it was just the cap & gown photo and my gown was all wrinkled because it was acetate and I thought an iron would melt it. #FreelanceFriends

I haven't gathered the courage yet to check to see what plans are even available for me, let alone the costs.

Sending strength and good wishes to all the #freelancers facing ridiculous increases in ACA/marketplace insurance premiums on top of all the other ridiculous chaosmaking right now.

Early on I noticed staffers tried dumping extra work on freelancers over the holidays. Sorry, bud. If you're taking time off for the holidays, so am I. #FreelanceFriends

I'm starting to think you and Devon ar somehow related. You have so many overlapping interests! #FreelanceFriends

I usually plan to take the last 2-3 weeks of th year off - or at least greatly scaled back to accommodate family time. (Especially now that there's a lake house involved!) #FreelanceFriends

I have green eyes, so when mine are dilated I freak out a bit every time I pass a mirror and it looks like a horror movie character with black vacant eyes is staring back at me! #FreelanceFriends

Back in film days my dad accidentally exposed the roll with my only High School graduation photos on it. #FreelanceFriends

Last month, President Trump launched a $40 billion bailout for Argentina, started construction on a new ballroom for himself, and bought two new private jets for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

But he did nothing to help Americans afford their groceries.

Sadie gets my vote for Best Costume: Prettiest Girl in the World. I told her she didn’t need the kerchief, but she wanted to dress up for Halloween.

I think seeing the folks around the corner setting up their scary clown display put her in the Halloween mood. 🀣

No, I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

My brother often talks about Elkhorn's Bray Road Beast, a lot further south of the North Woods. I worked that into another script (just the name, not the actual beast).

Didn’t have really good butter, but I used real butter. (I bake with butter, but otherwise I rarely use butter before it goes bad.)

This time I made the slow-rise no-knead bread using bread flour. It's cooling. Almost ready to try.

Did you not see me just make a typo in nearly every post or comment I made? We're all fluent in Typo here. #FreelanceFriends

They try to diminish your skills and value before you have a chance to do a darn thing. Those are not clients you want to deal with. Ever. #FreelanceFriends

I like all of the above, but those two are the ones that motivate me to keep coming back. It's always nice to spend time with kindred spirits. #FreelanceFriends
