That’s how much beer I just dumped down our kitchen sink. My current mission: To combine the contents of our garage fridge with our kitchen fridge. The garage fridge is moving with us to NE, while the kitchen fridge will stay here, so I need to get the thing emptied and thawed before Monday. Most … Read more
I removed 31 more batteries tonight, from Jake’s electronic keyboard and Timmy’s 8 (count ’em: EIGHT) Shake ‘n Go cars. Wendy reminded me about each of those cars having 3 AA batteries! Phew, I almost forgot! So the current battery count is 110.

Since “Six Feet Under” finished on HBO a couple years ago, there’s been some close ones (Nip/Tuck on FX), but nothing close till I caught my first full episode of Weeds a … Read more
…You have a good-sized length of wrapping paper left and it’s NOT QUITE enough to cover the gift??? PS: Can you see what I’m wrapping??? Good, then Dave won’t know either 🙂
I just have to refer you here — Maryann captured some million-dollar smiles of my boys on Sunday. It was horribly hot all weekend, so she and I were looking for indoor activities for our boys.
