General Thoughts

So here’s a picture of me holding my breath underwater.

Ok, based on some emails and comments, it seems I might have to explain the inscription on the pink iPod.

I land squarely in the former camp, and I think that it’s important for us all … Read more

I don’t require too many things from our pets, but proper bathroom habits ranks near the top of the list.
