Vacation: Day One
I’m getting bored. I’ve been “on vacation” all of four hours and I’m already quite certain I won’t make it the rest of the week. What in the world am I going to do for another four days when I’m … Continue reading
Welcome Home, Fluffy!
Yep: he’s back. I went out earlier today and, upon returning home, noticed a bag of mulch sitting up against the corner of my garage door. This would be just a foot or so away from the bag of phone … Continue reading

My nephew really digs cheetos.
