Lloyd and I watched “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”, and there was a nice scene where the little boy puts glow-in-the-dark stars all over Mr. Magorium’s hospital room so he has ‘enough space to sleep’. Lloyd and I exchanged knowing glances. See, years ago – before we had a website – I devalued our house by [...]

Showering with candy
January 30, 2010
Well, we’ve been to McCook and back, and lived to tell the tale. It was uneventful – Lloyd met with his Republican friends and they did some stuff, I looked around downtown McCook and went to their Wal-Mart. We were back on the road toward home by noon. The meeting was 3 1/2 hours away [...]

I peeled it and chopped it up into carrot slabs, which are 78% more fun to eat than carrot sticks, and much less horrifying than eating baby [...]
SuperSnacker & Me
January 26, 2010
So, that snack-making thingie is turning out to be pretty cool. I’m certain I’ve received more that $3 worth of joy from it, and it also satisfies my desire to have a GT Xpress. (I tell you, I am a sucker for infomercials. I will watch that one every time it comes on. That and [...]
