Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

Between stretching an overlapping the sports never end. Though this year there may be no ice hockey. Me I stay away from most sports. Give me history, prehistory, ecology, climatology etc.

And if an agreement is reached, it’ll be like the basketball season last year…very short.

I believe the only days on the calendar with no professional sports are the day before and the day after baseball’s All Star Game. (That was true a few years ago, but it may have changed.)

You’d think she’d know by now how this works.

College hockey still very much alive—much better game than NHL. Of course I went to DU—a hockey power—so I’m biased.
