The holiday season is upon us. And I, inveterate dork that I am, had planned on suggesting all manner of gadgets and gizmos to give to all the nice people on your list.
(I don’t really like shopping, for the record. But in my experience consumer electronics never let you down. No matter when you look [...]

Yes, I’m a dude, and yes, I’m straight, and I even have copious amounts of facial hair at the moment, I’ll have you know.
But I still have to write about this Puppy Cam. Reason being is that I’m crazy about our dog Vince, and I’ve long lamented our lack of pictures of him from his [...]

Leftover night is my favorite. It’s the only guilt-free eating there is. After all, you’re doing the world a favor, right? This was just going to go to waste, and it’s taking up valuable fridge space, so by volunteering to consume whatever’s in that tupperware container you’re both hygienically disposing of it *and* staving off [...]

Well, I guess my sign in the yard did the trick. Obama won, and even carried Indiana.

Today I celebrate Penny’s and my fourth-and-a-half wedding anniversary. She doesn’t know it yet.
It’s a silly date, I suppose, but four and a half is my favorite number, so it only seems natural to get excited over the day on which it’s been four years and six months since our wedding day.
